The Journey of the Body of the Late PM of Barbados

The funeral of Barbados' late Prime Minister, the Honourable David Thompson, will be held on the 3rd November 2010, at the Kensington Oval in St. Michael. The service is expected to begin at 8:50a.m, and the burial will be in St. John.

The Oval could accommodate about 11,000 people, and according to the 2009 Census count, this little island of 166 square miles has 275,719 people. Therefore, tickets will be made available to the public. That is, on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Additionally, those desiring to pay their last respects could have done so at the Parliament building in Bridgetown, Combermere School, the headquarters of the Democratic Labour Party and St. John's Parish Church on Sunday.  His body was in the state from the 28th until the 31st of October.
