Cape Coast flooded with Red and Black

The Cape Coast township is  flooded with a sea of red and black attire together with head and hand bands and other funeral paraphernalia.

Most people had resorted to wearing funeral attire since the death of President John Evans Atta Mills on Tuesday, July 24.

Electricity poles, entrances to stores, vehicles and even dummies in front of some boutiques and fashion outlets have been clad with red with music shops and other stores playing dirges and hymns.

A giant screen has been set up at the Jubilee Park for the public to view the proceedings from Accra.

Most offices were virtually empty as workers who did not have TV sets in their offices stayed back home to watch the ceremony, while others gathered in banking halls, offices, stores, homes and wherever television  sets were available to watch the live telecast.
