SOCIAL SCENE: Familiar faces in the Park

Gloomy prospects may lie ahead for 2014, but the atmosphere in Queen’s Park on Christmas morning was no indication of the forecast.
Well known personalities dressed in their Christmas finery were in their usual places, meeting and greeting friends whom they have grown accustomed to seeing only on this special day of the year.
Through the rain, veteran sports broadcaster and commentator Sam Wilkinson, car racing commentator Trevor Thorpe, Senior Medical Officer Dr Joy St John, Central Bank Governor Dr DeLisle Worrell, Judy and Philip Sobers with their visiting son and daughter, stood with hundreds of other park-goers cheering on Superintendent Keith Ellis and the Royal Barbados Police Force Band and the gospel group Promise.
