Large crowds gathered in the heart of the nation’s capital just minutes before the procession began on Wednesday morning to pay their final respects to late National Hero the Right Excellent Sir Garfield Sobers.
Hours before the ceremonial procession got underway, there was little indication that The City would soon host a State Funeral, as many people hurried to their places of work.
Among the first to arrive outside Parliament was popular personality Aiden Taylor, better known as Mr Barbados, who waited for the procession to begin its journey to Kensington Oval.
