Barbados to cut ties with Queen Elizabeth II, become a republic in a grand ceremony

[Guno צְבִי]

Almost 400 years after the first English ship arrived on its golden shores, the former British colony of Barbados will wake up Tuesday as a republic.

The tiny Caribbean nation will remove Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state in a ceremony that will begin late Monday, breaking its ties with the British royal family — and with it, one of the island’s last remaining imperial bonds to the United Kingdom.

It comes 55 years to the day since Barbados gained full independence but kept the monarch in the ceremonial role.

Yes that's true, Barbados despite having a small population of less than 300,000 is fanatical about cricket and bats well above its weight.

Mason has already seized power. Perhaps he'll rule the island as "Sally Stockings" in his compression socks.

Barbados will remain a republic within the Commonwealth, a grouping of 54 countries across Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe.

But its withdrawal from the monarchy will bring the number of Commonwealth realms – countries that continue to have the queen as their head of state – to 15, including Jamaica, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
