{{Mourners gathered to pay their respects to the man Ghana’s president called “one of the country’s finest ambassadors”.}}
Funeral ceremonies for BBC TV presenter Komla Dumor, who died last month in London at the age of 41, have begun in his home country of Ghana.
As is customary in Ghana, they are taking place over three days.
The funeral service itself will take place on Saturday in the forecourt of State House in the capital, Accra.
One of Africa’s best-known journalists, Ghanaian President John Mahama said the nation had lost one of its finest ambassadors.
“He was very passionate about Africa, he was very passionate about Ghana; I think Komla is one of the gifts we gave to the world,” Mr Mahama told the BBC.
