The heads of state of Ethiopia, and Ghana paid tribute to the late British monarch Queen Elizabeth II on Sunday as they signed her book of condolences at Lancaster House in London.
Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Addo said the queen had overseen the “dramatic transformation” of the Commonwealth into a global “force for good” during her 70-year reign.
Ethiopian President Sahle-Work Zewde said Elizabeth had been a “towering woman leader” who would be remembered for her public service.
Dignitaries from across the world have traveled to the UK capital for the queen’s state funeral taking place today, Monday 19.
The state funeral began before 11 am (10:00 GMT) when the queen’s coffin was placed on a gun carriage and pulled by 142 Royal Navy sailors to the abbey, the finale of 10 days of national mourning for Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
