At home in Ghana, the KNUST Parade Grounds during Chancellor’s Week has served as a platform for students and faculty to pay tribute to the Asantehene. The parade was marked by discipline, precision, and a shared respect for Ghanaian heritage.

The Guard of Honour Parade at the Ghana Police Headquarters in Accra is another notable tribute, where officers came together to salute the monarch in recognition of his enduring leadership.

Also, the Guard of Honour Parade by the Police Royal Ladies during Akwasidae at Manhyia Palace highlighted elegance and ceremony. Dressed in traditional attire, the Royal Ladies demonstrated poise and reverence, reflecting the high regard in which the King is held.

These parades, though held some time back, have resurfaced in discussions following recent questions about the parade organised by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno of the Ghana Police Service.

They serve as a reminder of the Asantehene’s long-standing tradition of inspecting and being honoured through such ceremonial events, reinforcing his legacy as a unifying figure and cultural icon.
