EDITOR, The Tribune.
NATIONAL Heroes Act 2016 was assented into Law on January 27, 2016.
The Commonwealth of The Bahamas is one of the so-called Realm members of The Commonwealth which basically means Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is the Head of State, The Governor General sits in lieu and representing of Her Majesty.
As a realm country even Independent, Civil Awards of the Queen, New Year’s Honours - Queen’s Birthday Honours are yes, British Awards but we are permitted to have our own Awards.
Archdeacon Campbell for a long time has protested that The Bahamas continues to award these UK-originating awards but as an Anglican ordained priest surely every time he says Mass he acknowledges Her Majesty as the titular Head of the Anglican Faith?
I am surprised that Rev Campbell has not jumped over the Catholic Orders of Knighthood and the recipients pretending they can call themselves ‘Sir or Dame’ which needs to stop.
