Looted artefacts from the Asante kingdom are finally on display in Ghana, 150 years after British colonisers took them.

Ghanaians flocked to the Manhyia Palace Museum in Kumasi, the capital of the Asante region, to welcome the 32 items home.

At this stage, the items have only been loaned to Ghana for three years. However, this loan can be extended.

The agreement is between two British museums - the Victoria & Albert Museum and British Museum - and the Asante king, not the Ghanaian government.

Among the returned artefacts are the sword of state, gold peace pipe and gold badges worn by officials charged with cleansing the soul of the king.
