THE HEAVY RAINS which fell into early yesterday morning ceased for the cause.
It was still a bit overcast but the umbrellas, which were on standby to shelter the dignitaries, remained closed at the annual Remembrance Day Parade was held in Heroes Square, The City, today.
The solemn occasion was in memory of those who lost their lives in World Wars I and II and people from different reverently laid wreaths as visible signs of the tribute.
Hundreds gathered around the nearby boardwalk and careenage to get a glimpse of the spectacle. At the centre of their attention would have been detachments from the various armed and civilian units including the Barbados Defence Force, The Royal Barbados Police Force, The Barbados Coast Guard, The Barbados Fire Service, The Girl Guides Association and the Boys Scouts Association.
