Hundreds of people including Ghana's president paid their last
respects to Christian Atsu, who died in last month's earthquake in Turkey.
His funeral was held outside State House in Ghana's capital,
Accra. Representatives of Ghana's national team and Atsu's Turkish club
Hatayspor were also at the ceremony for a man seen by many as a national hero.
Atsu's body was recovered a fortnight after the quake from the
rubble of his apartment building. It was returned to Ghana almost a month ago.
He was buried in his home village in south-eastern Ghana.
Atsu, 31, spent most of his career playing in the English
Premier League for clubs including Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton.
