The Mighty Sparrow’s Body Returns To T&T Ahead Of State-Assisted Funeral

It was a sombre mood at the Piarco International Airport on Tuesday as the body of Slinger Francisco, also known as The Mighty Sparrow, was flown into Trinidad and Tobago ahead of his State-assisted funeral.

Mr Francisco’s body was transported on board Caribbean Airlines flight 521, which departed John F. Kennedy Airport in New York earlier on Tuesday morning.

Curious airport workers were among those gathered as the flight touched down at 11:53am, with family members and Ministry officials present as his body arrived in Trinidad and Tobago.
