Thompson family ties

Though finding it “really hard” in trying to cope with the illness of his son Prime Minister David Thompson, who is battling pancreatic cancer, Charles Thompson finds comfort in the warm bond he enjoys with his family.
He was particularly delighted to see one of his sons, Paul, fly in from London specially to await his brother’s return to Barbados from the hospital in the United States.
Here, Charles (centre) listening as his sons Paul (left) and Steven exchange brotherly banter at Thompsons’ St Michael home.
