Two days after the late Prime Minister David John Howard Thompson was laid to rest, Barbadians were still taking the opportunity to view his gravesite at the St John’s Parish Church.
Yesterday, as workmen from the Ministry of Transport and Works put the finishing touches to the platform that will remain around Thompson’s grave for the next two weeks, Reverend Jeffrey Gibson of St Leonard’s Church, and Canon Stephen Fields from Toronto arrived to pay their last respects.
Gibson said both of them had attended the funeral service but had not been able to make it to St John for the burial.
“So we wanted to come here today to pay our respects,” Gibson said as they took turns taking pictures at the site.
