Asantehemaa Dɔte Yie: Expected Attendees For Day 3
Like the past two days, a different set of guests will take their turn today, September 17, 2025, to pay their respects to the late Queen of the Asante Kingdom, Nana Konadu Yadom.
They will join Asanteman in mourning their beloved and revered leader at the Manhyia Palace, which has been crowned as the “citadel of culture and tradition”.
The guests expected for today’s event include members of the National House of Chiefs and Regional Houses, Ministers of State, Diplomatic Corps, Parliamentarians and MCEs & DCEs.
These guests and the general public will have the opportunity to file past and pay their respects from morning till evening.
Meanwhile, the King of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, will sit in state at noon to receive these guests and their commiseration.
The carefully planned burial rites have a series of activities from September 15 to September 18, when the rites will come to an end.
Her Majesty will be buried on the last day at Breman Baamu.
Filing past is reserved to take place sequentially among dignitaries and the general public from September 15 to 18, between 5 am and 5 pm, except for the last day, when it will end at 11 am to make way for a burial service at 3 pm.
A key point to note is the institution of the restriction on outdoor movement effective 7 pm on September 18 to make way for the burial of Her Majesty.
