President Bharrat Jagdeo is heading to Barbados for the State funeral of the late Prime Minister David Thompson. Mr Thompson would be buried today after a funeral service at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, the Barbados capital. Of interest is the fact that the late Prime Minister’s grandfather was a Berbician. Mr Thompson had planned to visit Berbice in the new year and to reacquaint himself with his relatives.
He died on October 23 of pancreatic cancer.
