Alden Blackman and Elsa Gibson left home on the “first bus” from St John to make sure they made it to the Kensington Oval bright and early where the funeral service of their late MP David Thompson is taking place later this morning.
The two, made their way along Fontabelle, St Michael to the Oval , armed with their framed photographs of the late Prime Minister David Thompson who died on October 23. They were only too happy to show off the man who has been their MP for the past 23 years.
Alden as he walked to the Oval, shared memories of his late MP. Elsa, who lives in New Jersey in the United States and is on a visit home, said she was glad she was in Barbados to attend the funeral service of the man she loved so dearly.
