DOLEFUL STRAINS OF MUSIC from the Royal Barbados Police Force band and the sound of muffled drums filled the air at Christ Church Parish Church yesterday when members of the Royal Barbados Police Force bade farewell to “a comrade in arms who fell in the line of duty”.
Detective Station Sergeant Clifford Bridgeman was accorded full military honours when he was laid to rest following a ceremony attended by Governor General Sir Elliott Belgrave and Lady Belgrave, Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite, members of the judiciary, top brass of the Royal Barbados Police Force and members of the Ex-Police Association.
They were among the hundreds from all walks of life paying last respects to a “shrewd and industrious police officer” and “a decent person with a magnetic personality”. (GC)
