NOT ONLY ARE Barbadians into marking the island’s 49th anniversary of Independence, but visitors to our shores are also getting caught up in the spirit of the celebrations.

These American tourists seemed quite fascinated by a number of dolls on display at a Christ Church store yesterday.

However, they were no ordinary dolls, but ones dressed in the national colours of ultramarine and gold.

Here, Gail Wallace (second right), who was born here but left as little girl, sharing the Bajan experience with her friends Joy-ann Hibbs (left) and Donna Laster. (JS)
