Thousands pack the Oval

Barbadians are already packing into Kensington Oval where the funeral service for the late Prime Minister David Thompson is set to start in the next half an hour.
 From early today there were long lines of people waiting to get into the Oval to bid farewell to Thompson, who was Prime Minister of Barbados from January 2008.
 Thompson, 48, died on October 23 at his home in Mapps, St Philip, after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
