DCoP Alwin A. James among honourees @ Queen’s Birthday Celebration
All who arrived to witness the ceremony were given a red carpet welcome. The audience consisted of quite a number of children, some amount of visitors, and a large number of residents of the territory.
While less than half of the honourees present to receive their awards, six (6) of fourteen (14) to be exact, the honouring ceremony was a short one for the hundreds that turned out to join in the celebrations which included, to the greater extent, the parading of the disciplined services. Several schools and local social groups also participated.
