Ghana has honoured its fallen military heroes, with President John Dramani Mahama leading the 81st Remembrance Day commemoration at the Christiansborg War Cemetery in Osu, Accra.

The event brought together military veterans, government officials and members of the diplomatic corps to remember Ghanaian servicemen and women who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars, international peacekeeping missions and other military operations.

President Mahama laid a wreath on behalf of the nation, reaffirming Ghana's appreciation for the courage and selfless service of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of peace and security.

The solemn occasion was marked by traditional military protocols, including the Last Post, a two-minute silence and the Reveille, as participants paid their respects to the departed heroes.

The commemoration also highlighted the importance of recognising and celebrating the contributions of surviving veterans, whose dedication and commitment to national and international peace remain a source of inspiration.

The 81st Remembrance Day observance reaffirmed Ghana's commitment to preserving the memory of its fallen heroes and honouring their legacy for generations to come.
