A steady stream of mourners on Tuesday paid their respects to the former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, as his body lay in state in the capital of his native Ghana.
The diplomat's body was flown back from his home in Switzerland on Monday ahead of a state funeral and private burial in Accra on Thursday.
