A new video showing Nana Ama McBrown, whose real name is Felicity Ama Agyemang, paying homage to a World War II veteran has surfaced on social media.
She showed maximum respect to Private Joseph Hammond when they met at the 2020 EMY Awards.
While McBrown was a celebrity guest at the ceremony, Mr Hammond was one of the winners for the night, receiving an EMY Salute award.
In the video, a humbled McBrown is seen bowing before Private Hammond as a sign of respect, after bumping into him at the ceremony.
After guiding Private Hammond to a seat, she talked with him for sometime before doing the elbow greeting with him.
This year’s edition of the EMYs, an award scheme designed to honour men who have excelled in various areas such as business, education, arts, fashion, technology, and communication, took place Saturday, July 4.
Queen honours Ghana veteran for Covid-19 fundraiser
Private Joseph Hammond has been given the Commonwealth Points of Light award by the Queen, which recognises inspirational volunteers throughout the Commonwealth.
Now 95 years old, the veteran joined the Royal West African Frontier Force aged just 16.
Last month, he set himself a challenge of walking 3.2km (two miles) every day to raise $600,000 (£500,000) to buy protective gear for health workers and vulnerable veterans.
Private Hammond has so far raised $35,000.
He was inspired by British veteran, Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised more than $35m for the UK’s National Health Service.
The Queen’s grandson, Prince Harry, wrote Private Hammond a letter of encouragement and support in June.
