ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF POLICE (ACP) Livingstone Eversley took his final salute from his fellow officers yesterday.
Borne on the shoulders of the men and women of the Royal Barbados Police Force (RBPF), the flag-draped casket, with Eversley’s hat and ceremonial sword, was accorded the final respects by rifle-bearing members of an honour guard and by crisp salutes yesterday.
In a service that brought out the rank and file of the organisation he faithfully served for more than 30 years, Eversley was remembered as a teetotaler with a sense of humour, a fitness fanatic, a stickler for proper dress and the consummate lawman.
Dean Emeritus Dr Frank Marshall, Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite, Acting Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith, substantive Commissioner Darwin Dottin, Deputy Chief Fire Officer Lloydson Phillips, Barbados Defence Force Commander Ricky Shurland; members of the judiciary and the magistracy; Director of Public Prosecutions Charles Leacock QC and his fellow prosecutors; members of the Police Association and those from the Ex-Police Officers Association, as well as members of Parliament, joined the hundreds of mourners who overflowed the Oxnards, St James, Western Light Church of the Nazarene and spilled into its basement where temporary seating and a large screen had been set up.
