Some had fond memories of Britain's longest serving monarch -- who came to smile and wave at crowds in 20 countries across the continent during her 70-year reign.
Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo, whose country the queen visited in 1961, four years after it became one of the first African countries to get independence, lowered flags and said Ghana was proud to be part of the Commonwealth of nations. "Our interaction with Britain has been one of pain, ... death and dispossession, and of the dehumanisation of the African people," it said, listing atrocities committed by British forces in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Some Nigerians recalled Britain's support in the 1960s for a military dictatorship that crushed the Biafra rebellion in the east of the country. Igbo officers launched the rebellion in 1967, triggering a three-year civil war that killed more than 1 million people, mostly from famine.
