With Methodist Hymn ‘Come ye that love the Lord’ playing in the background, the pallbearers lifted the casket of the late Mr Blankson while the church and other attendants sang along.
His body was led into the hearse and driven away to the Community 9 cemetery.
The final funeral rites of the former Commercial Manager of Advertiser and Publishers Solutions Ghana Ltd and GhanaWeb and Veteran Actor was held earlier today, Saturday, December 17, 2022, at the Full Gospel Church in Tema.
The burial service saw the widow, Justina Naadu Blankson, children, family, and friends in attendance, as they bid the award-winning actor farewell.
The sudden demise of Mr Blankson was announced on Monday, October 3, 2022. He was 50 years.
