“This harbour holds a very special place in my heart because my granddad who lived here in the fifties and the sixties as he was an engineer living in Ghana building this port. It’s very sad he died early this year. I’ve come back to distribute his ashes in some of his favourite places in Ghana.”

He first visited the Tema beach and the port to spray his grandfather’s ashes there.
“He always loved big ships. When he lived in the port in Ghana and abroad. He is always telling us about big ships. So I think this is an appropriate place to put his ashes out to sea and see where they end up.”
