FREEPORT, Grand Bahama –Bahamas Information Services (BIS) released an excellent collection of photos taken at The Bahamas Independence Golden Jubilee celebrated in Grand Bahama on Tuesday, July 11, 2023. We decided to share some of them with readers of BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. The photos were released with the following narrative:
