The Chairman of the Burial Rites Committee of Asantehemaa Nana Konadu Yiadom III has directed all members of the public who may visit the Manhyia Palace to pay their last respects to the late Queen to do so with the utmost honour to her memory.

Addressing the press on Friday, Nana Effah Appenteng said mourners must strictly follow all guidelines.

“All those willing to file past must accord due respect to the late Queen. The women must take off their headscarves.”

He further stressed, “No one must take footage of the remains. You will be dealt with when caught.”

Meanwhile, some directives have been issued to guide members of the public who will be attending from September 15 to September 18.
