Kenyans have flooded social media with messages of gratitude and admiration for the Kenya Airways (KQ) crew that flew the remains of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga from Mumbai to Nairobi.

The flight, KQ 203, was symbolically renamed RA001 (Raila Amollo Odinga) for the journey that carried one of Kenya’s most revered statesmen home.
