The atmosphere was especially emotional as members of Ghana’s film and entertainment industry turned out in large numbers to pay their respects.

Prominent personalities from the creative arts fraternity were present, including Nana Ama McBrown, Vivian Jill Lawrence, Gloria Osei Sarfo, Selassie Ibrahim, Roselyn Ngissah, Joselyn Dumas, Nikki Samonas, Portia Asare, Vicky Zugah, Salma Mumin, Empress Gifty Adorye, Nana Boroo, Kalybos, Salinko, Eunice Banini, Pascal Amanfo, James Gardiner, and John Dumelo, among others.

Their presence added to the emotional weight of the gathering, with many visibly shaken as they embraced one another and shared words of comfort before the formal proceedings began.

During the ceremony, tributes poured in from family members and colleagues who described Beverly Afaglo as energetic, passionate, and deeply influential within the entertainment space.

Many remembered her as a source of inspiration whose personality left a lasting impression on those she worked with.

The programme also featured prayers, scripture readings, and reflections on the fragility of life, with speakers urging attendees to value and cherish loved ones while they are still alive.

A symbolic candle-lighting moment and balloon release were held in her memory, followed by a period of silence in honour of her life and legacy.

The ceremony concluded with thanksgiving prayers, while the family expressed appreciation to members of the creative arts community for their overwhelming support during their time of grief.
