Legal luminary and elder statesman Parnel Randolph Campbell QC, will be accorded an official funeral, a status befitting someone who has served the nation well.
Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves, in a tribute broadcast on NBC Radio said Campbell, who died at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital on Monday, April 19, was among the best of our nation and once his family gives permission, he will be given an official funeral by “a grateful nation”.
News of the former politician’s death, which spread quickly on social media late Monday night, took many by shock, coming as it did just hours after a repeat broadcast of his show ‘The Law and You’ had aired on SVG TV. That weekly television programme, which had its debut in April 1997, was broadcast for half an hour every Monday night, except on public holidays, for the last 24 years.
