They were given a rousing welcome in the capital, Accra, and a 21-gun salute from the Ghanaian Armed Forces.

They were greeted by President Nana Akufo-Addo and the first lady.

While in the country, the couple will lay wreaths at the Christiansburg War Cemetery in Accra where 1,800 mainly troops from West African forces from two World Wars are buried.

While they are here, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will also be visiting Ghana’s second largest city, Kumasi, where they will be attending a meeting of traditional chiefs at the Manhiya Palace. They will also open a university science and technology park.

Ahead of his visit, President Akufo-Addo described the prince as an old friend of Ghana.

The couple will head on to Nigeria on Tuesday.
