The Bay Primary School attended by National Hero Sir Garfield Sobers is set to be renamed in his honour as part of a broader effort to preserve the cricket legend’s legacy for future generations.

Prime Minister Mia Mottley made the announcement on Friday as Parliament paid tribute to Sir Garfield, revealing that more than 300 signatures had already been submitted to the Cabinet Office in support of renaming the school the Sir Garry Sobers Primary School.

The proposal is expected to go before the National Honours Advisory Council.
