Beehive of activities has been the order of the day at the Kariokor Cemetery ahead of King Charles III visit on Wednesday.
At 9:30 am the Cemetery was surrounded by tight security as men in suits surrounded the area.
The media took their position ready for the King and the World War 1 and 2 veterans who were seen trooping in.
The King is expected to present them with a medal for the role they played during World War I and II.
School-going children and women are also present ready to present the Queen with a coin and a necklace.
There were also dances and song rehearsals going on ahead of their majesties' arrival.
Speaking to the Star, retired Sergeant Major Michael Deya said he was excited that he is finally getting recognised after being forgotten in a long time.
The 83-year-old who had served in the army for 22 years said he was excited to meet the King.
'We are excited that the King has recognised veterans who fought because we were forgotten, this is happening the first time since I was born," he said.
