The President of Dominica His Excellency Charles A. Savarin and Mrs. Savarin will represent the Commonwealth of Dominica at the funeral service for the late Patrick Manning, former Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Mr. Manning died of acute myeloid leukemia on Saturday July 02, 2016 in San Fernando where he was born. He was 69.
The funeral service is scheduled to take place tomorrow Saturday July 09, 2016 from 10:00am at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Port of Spain. A private burial by the Manning family will follow.
Patrick Augustus Mervyn Manning was Leader of the People’s National Movement and became Prime Minster of the twin island nation from December 1991 to November 1995 and again from December 2001 to May 2010.
As a mark of respect, admiration and to celebrate the life of the former Prime Minister and regional leader, the Government of Dominica has afforded two days of national mourning to the late Manning.
In keeping with protocol to mark the period of mourning, the flag of the Commonwealth of Dominica will be flown at half-staff on all public buildings in the State today Friday July 08, and tomorrow Saturday July 09, 2016.
Mr Savarin thanks for attending the funeral of the lated president of Trinidad. the after party that come with it please enjoy it for most of us in Dominica which could not be there, however the biggest gift that you can share with the people of Dominica is for you to as for residency in Trinidad , by doing so you and madam Savarin with be off the backs of the poor people of Dominica, the people just had enough of you people sucking the blood of the tax payers of this blessaid land Domninica.
please send us a post card after your permit document is complete.
Why should’nt someone represent a former Prime Minister funeral come on people.
Former PM Manning, you have done your utmost for T & T. You gave it your all during your tenure. This was a bonus for you when you faced God for your earthly judgment.
Whatever you have done will never be forgotten, It is etched in T & T’s history. You will be forever remembered.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen!
May his soul and other souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen!
Lord have mercy! Christ have mercy! Lord hear us! Christ graciously hear us!
Here we go again. Another trip on the tax payers. Lowering the flag as a sign of respect is enough. But did the president and his wife have to travel to Trinidad? No forgetting his ADC.. that’s three airline tickets plus hotel . While people in dominica loosing jobs . People on street hungry begging getting burnt with hot water. Poor decision!!
Do you need this to be explained to you? You should acquaint yourself with these matters and develop broad-mindedness. It is to be expected and is protocol that a member of government represent Dominica at the funeral of one who held such a high position in his country.
Many dignitaries throughout the Caribbean and elsewhere who knew former PM Manning will be present.
If I were one (wished) I would certainly be present. However, I will be present in spirit.
Even though he was a former PM, T & T is in mourning for one of his status. Please let this former T & T PM rest in peace. RIP!

Scar Face, if the President didn’t go then you all will say something else, no one can’t please you people. The time you take to go and mind other people’s business online you should go and look for a job.

Do not blame you for stating that. LIAT cannot afford to be late. A special plane will fly them to T & T. All arrangements made.
