Watch how the casket of Rawlings' mother was opened

The event was held at the forecourt of the State House, Accra, on October 24, 2020.

[@robertafierro5592]

Very Respectfully done. When people from different Cultures see something they don't understand, often their first reactions are to laugh or become fearful.

[@iloveoklahoma6592]

Well done, gentlemen! All marching in unison, taking their place at the side of this beautiful casket. Movements timed perfectly, folding the flag so respectfully. I think she would have been proud of these gentlemen. A very beautiful ceremony for a beautiful loved one. May God bless everyone and keep you all safe in his arms. ❤️❤️🙏🙏 From Oklahoma, USA 🇺🇸

Very respectful and timing on point as were the soldiers. You guys should be proud.

[@rinato7757]

Timing on point?? Stevie Wonder disagreed with you on that.

[@Biketunerfy]

@@rinato7757 what do you mean, you think it wasn’t very respectful and the timing of the soldiers wasn’t very good ? Are you serious ?

Like how they played A Mighty Fortress is Our God while they fixed the flag. I love that old hymn!

My condolences to the family. I am from England and I find the concept of 'open casket' funerals very strange. But it was well done and with great respect.

No help at all, just honoring her departure as a mother of Jerry Rawlings who was a president of Ghana.
