During the Commonwealth games opening ceremony, Dr Kipchoge Keino, the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) President, needed no elevation to stand tall at the event staged at the famed home of Celtic football club.

Dressed in cream white suit, he was the only black man to carry the Commonwealth Games flag before Queen Elizabeth ll as the games started, which was a great honour for Kenya and the continent.
