Happy Independence Barbados!

Today, the 30th November, 2011 marks 45 years of Independence for Barbados! Here is a little history of Barbados for you - The English first settled in Holetown in 1627 and Barbados remained a British colony for over 300 years until achieving Independence from Britain on the 30th November, 1966. The first Independence ceremony was celebrated with the raising of the Barbados National Flag and the playing of the Barbados National Anthem!

 

So cheers to 45 years and many more as being an Independent nation!
