It was a sea of red at the Eddie Hart Grounds in Tacarigua yesterday as thousands of People’s National Movement (PNM) supporters turned out in a show of political passion during the party’s “Big Red Rally”.

From as early as 2.30 p.m., busloads of supporters arrived from around the country, transforming the grounds into a festive, almost picnic-like atmosphere.

Coolers and flags in hand, many groups set up under tents as they waited for the entertainment to start.
