Barbados has officially removed Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state
and become the world's newest republic.

In an overnight ceremony in the capital, Bridgetown
Dame Sandra Mason was sworn in as president.

The Prince of Wales and Barbadian singer Rihanna attended the event
which coincided with the country's 55th anniversary of independence.

In a speech, Prince Charles acknowledged the
"appalling atrocity of slavery" the Caribbean island suffered.

To signify the official change of power, a final salute was made
to the British monarchy
and the Royal Standard flag was lowered and replaced.

Congratulations and Good Luck to the people of Bim !

What does republic do for them

Rihanna NEVER talks about her GUYANA mother, eh ?

OR the Mother does NOT want the world to know she is from Guyana ??

Chairman, which is it ???.

Some Guyanese deny they are from Guyana

Perhaps against the wishes of an older West Indian generation

the new republic made a move that leaves an open question

about what comes next.
