Angry social media users are calling for his head for desecrating what was a solemn occasion for the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lieutenant Colonel Nana Kofi Twumasi-Ankrah<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Ghanaian-born officer in the British Army, Lieutenant Colonel Nana Kofi Twumasi-Ankrah, was among the decorated soldiers who walked along with the Queen cortege as they escorted it after the funeral service to the burial place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twumasi-Ankrah in 2017 became the Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s equerry, the first black man to hold this position. At official activities, including public visits and receptions at Buckingham Palace, the Equerry assists the monarch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Prince Phillip retired from public service, Major Twumasi-Ankrah supported Queen Elizabeth II at public events after the Duke of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: ghanaweb.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
