Somebody asked me the other day if they should dress in black for Alhassan’s memorial service tomorrow. It will not be a fun occasion, but please let us not make it any more dismal than it already is. Sierra Leonean funeral white is a good sight better than British funeral black, but in general I think brightly coloured shorts, T-shirts and flipflops will most nearly express Alhassan’s preferred dress code!
We look forward to seeing you there if you are able to make it.
