The main conference hall inside the Accra International Conference Center is heavy with grief as politicians, statesmen, close friends and relations pay their last respects to Ghana's former vice-president Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur. 

Politicians from every side and generation have converged there to see the last of the late vice-president, a man "who could not hurt a fly".

The politicians who used to playing games with each other have settled down into serious grief as death has played an ultimate game over them with the former second gentleman of the land.

But perhaps the most moving, emotion-shattering scene has been, the dreaded walk of Matilda Amissah-Arthur who filed past the man who walked her down the aisle more than 40 years ago.

That walk in 1978 was for the better. That wobbly walk in July 2018 was for the worst.
