Emancipation celebrations

A LARGE crowd gathered in downtown Port-of-Spain yesterday, to participate in the annual street parade to mark Emancipation Day celebrations in Trinidad and Tobago. The day began with a formal opening at the Brian Lara Promenade followed by a parade through the streets, from the Brian Lara Promenade Downtown Port-of-Spain to the Queen’s Park Savannah. Songs of praise, joy and worship echoed through the capital city as part of the procession. Newsday’s photographer Erica Ramjass was on hand to bring us these images.
