St John residents called for their queen and they got her.
From the time she was nominated at the St John Parish Church on January 2 to run as the Democratic Labour Party’s (DLP) candidate in the January 20 by-election, party supporters were crowning her the queen of St John, and their wishes were met with a resounding victory over the Barbados Labour Party’s candidate on Thursday.
It was therefore only fitting that she be crowned at the celebration party held at the Gall Hill Community Centre that continued into yesterday morning.
Here, a DLP supporter places a tiara on Thompson’s head while her daughter Oya looks on.
