Young Barbadians turned out in large numbers at Kensington Oval on Wednesday, paying their respects to National Hero The Right Excellent Sir Garfield Sobers, with many saying they wanted to honour a man whose memory will continue to inspire people for years to come.

Students from Springer Memorial Secondary School joined hundreds of mourners at the historic venue to offer their condolences to Sir Garfield’s family and celebrate his life.

Miracle Little said representing her school at the state funeral was about paying tribute to a man who meant much more than a cricket legend.
