Fourteen St. Lucia accident victims laid to rest

Emotions ran high on Wednesday, November 23 with the funerals of 14 victims from the Morne Sion accident earlier this month. The ceremony was in the form of a National Ecumenical Service held on the Micoud Playing Field. From early on hundreds flooded the grounds in an attempt to be on time for the viewing of the bodies, which started from 11am.

An invitation was issued by government to members of the public who wished to attend in a show of support for the family and on Wednesday it was quite a chaotic scene as regular people crowded the area where all 14 coffins lay, not giving family members a chance to say goodbye.
