The funeral starts at 12:00. If there was any intention to allow government staff to attend the funeral offices would be closed for the day. Are they supposed to go to work in their dress clothes for the funeral?
well all you do call police
And why not? We do it for others, so what makes this different? The family must have been well aware that a half da,y not a whole day off, was in the offing. They planned the service for midday anyway. Antigua people are just ignorant bullies!
The government had to be involved in the planning because it’s an official funeral.
why no state funeral? he deserved one.
