BAHAMAS CHRONICLE extends our pride-filled congratulations to the Government and People of Barbados on the occasion of the Fifty-Second Anniversary of Independence which is being celebrated under the theme, “Building Together – One Barbados”. After the British established their first settlement at Holetown in 1627, Barbados remained a British colony until achieving independence from Britain on November 30, 1966. That first independence ceremony was accompanied by the raising of the Barbados national flag, and playing of the national anthem for the first time. https://www.facebook.com/NationBarbados/videos/341951793250588/
