SHEARER BURIED - Nation bids farewell to a stalwart leader
FORMER PRIME Minister Hugh Lawson Shearer was yesterday laid to rest after a near four-hour state funeral marked by numerous tributes and pomp and pageantry befitting his memory.
Overcome with grief
LUCILLE BENNETT, 78, housekeeper of former Prime Minister Hugh Lawson Shearer for 39 years, could not handle the grief yesterday as she watched the casket with his body lowered into the vault at the National Heroes Park, central Kingston.
A gracious statesman
THE SKY was a hot, steely blue, and huge white clouds with grey underbellies scudded by as mourners and well-wishers came in droves to pay their final respects yesterday to former Prime Minister Hugh Lawson Shearer...
Golden agers pay respects
FOR 70-YEAR-OLD Vinnette Parkes, non-attendance at yesterday's state funeral of former Prime Minister Hugh Lawson Shearer would have been unthinkable.
