Jan 19, 2021 Second Day of National Mourning: A Viewing at Government House The heavy downpour over Belize City today made the second national day of mourning to honor Belize’s first Governor General feel even more somber. The rains forced slight adjustments in the planned procession, but the cortege proceeded with all the pomp and ceremony. The late Dame Minita Gordon was taken to the House of Culture or Government House to lay in state. Despite the downpour, the turnout of persons who showed up to pay homage was respectable. Among them were Belize City Mayor Bernard Wagner, Speaker of the House of Representatives Valerie Woods, President of the Senate Carolyn Trench Sandiford, Minister of Human Development Dolores Balderamos-Garcia, and several other notables.
