Hundreds of people are already in the village of Tubou in Lau, where they will take part in the welcoming church service today.
While speaking to fijivillage News, village headman Waqavonovono Temo says the service will be held at the church in Tubou.
Temo says the Lomaiviti 12 is yet to anchor on the island, as villagers are still working out how best to accommodate those on board.
He adds that there are about 420 houses in the village, currently occupied by visitors, and that the nearby villages of Waitabu and Waciwaci are also housing guests.
The ceremony for the installation of the Tui Nayau Sau ni Vanua o Lau will be held on Tuesday, while the installation ceremony of the Tui Lau will be held in Tubou on Thursday.
We will provide live coverage of the two installation ceremonies on our website, facebook and YouTube pages, fijivillage and VITIFM.
