The historic Garrison Savannah was the location for another Independence Day Parade as Barbadians and visitors cheered the nation on its 47th anniversary yesterday.
On a sunny and windy day the military, paramilitary and other unarmed units took part in the ceremony at the site of the first Independence ceremony in 1966.
Governor General Sir Elliott Belgrave, Prime Minister Freundel Stuart and Chief Justice Sir Marston Gibson led the 75-minute tribute.
