Parliament meets to launch jubilee celebrations
(CNS): Members of Parliament held a special meeting on Sunday to mark the beginning of this year’s celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. The British monarch acceded to the throne 70 years ago, 6 February 1952, on the death of her father, George VI. The Queen, who is the longest serving British monarch, will be 96 on 21 April.
At the special meeting yesterday, Governor Martyn Roper read the proclamation declaring the start of the jubilee celebrations. The members then debated the motion for the proclamation, speaking about the monarch and in particular her two visits to the Cayman Islands in 1983 and in 1994 and this country’s position as an overseas territory.

Gotta love the Idi Amin costume.
It would look better if it wasn’t too small. ha.
McBeater is the best the Cayman Islands can offer? Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Wayne, what are you thinking son?
I have nothing but respect for the Queen but I have nothing but anger and disrespect for McKeeva Bush. How dare this man use taxpayers hard earned dollars to host fancy ‘Royal’ events that are nothing more than him making himself look good. My friend attended the dinner he hosted Sat evening at the Kimpton was complete with Filet and Lobster for 100 people that included all Mac’s UDP cronies. That $50k+ spend would have gone a long way to help some of the tourism workers who are struggling to put food on the table right now. Shame on you!
Dont you all just love looking at Dr. Hon. W. McKeeva Bush, OBE, JP, Hon MSc, MLA all dressed up in his pomp outfit?
Hopefully it is gifted to him when he leaves so we never have to see that stupid costume again.
Governors got rid of their white suits and hat but we still hold on to this nonsense.
And muzzled 🙈
Liz and I have a lot in common. Neither of us ready to die and we can’t afford to retire. Her incompetent firstborn and heir dreams of being reincarnated as underwear, while her other three sons Andrew, Mugabe, and McKeeva are just common criminals. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Other 3 sons?
What an embarrassment McKeeva Bush is. He does not belong in that position, struggling to walk, slopped in the chair when the Governor was speaking, wearing the mask under his chin.
It’s good to be born into riches and not have to work and earn it.
It is unfortunate that so many Caymanians have no respect for the Queen. They should save their nasty comments for one of their own, a convicted criminal dressed up in his African dictator outfit, who despite his record has been an elected Parliamentarian for most of his life.
You have respect for the dysfunctional family she raised? Prince Charles and his brother Prince Andrew? No model for anybody except English toffs of which there are many here in the Cayman Islands.
Sir Humphrey, are you Caymanian, and if so, do you have a British passport?.
Wanna be toffs u mean!
Cockney to the bone.
Doesn’t take much to impress the gentry.
I certainly hope a one week vacation for all will be declared by the Governor for everyone here.
A fitting tribute to her Majestic Majesty.
We need a good holiday here. COVID has been tough.
You are one of the lazy ones, probably calls in sick a lot, you gets along Vacation on full pay ( Twice the length of U S vacations) plus 11 or 12 holidays p a, and you still want more, shame on.
6:18, Please show some respect. We admire and respect in West Bay convicted criminals dressed as African dictators elected to Parliament for life.
Our best and brightest and a God in West Bay.
Dunt get ani better dan dat.
Respect needs to be earned.
Royalty is just people larping but everyone takes them seriously for some reason.
lol..
What exactly makes her more important than you or I?
You don’t deserve to live in a UK territory like Cayman, or even a Commonwealth country, if you need to ask that
I’m British pal, born and bred.
Smoke, mirrors and loadsa moolah.
We don’t need a jubilee, we need another wreck of the 11 sails or some shit like that where the queen declares these islands forever free from failed science, lies and tyranny.
This is is distraction from the ongoing issues with government.
Just recently, the Governor and other senior officials have been implicated in the current issue with the overseas offices.
Let’s clear that up first, shall we?
Or should we bring back Dr. Lee to explain the government position on the Drs Express issue?
I am just asking for a little transparency. Is it too much to ask?
God save the Queen!
And Johnny Rotten!
I thought Johnny Rotten was dead.
Neither of them are real, just mere constructs.
Long May she reign!
God Bless her.
70 years is enuff. Time to pass the torch. She is tired and burned out. Charles needs to get a real job at 75.
