A local Calypsonian will serenade the visiting Earl and Countess of Wessex on Saturday March 3rd, with his original commemorative tune ?Elizabeth Regina.?
The calypsonian, whose real name is Tyrone O?Flaherty, said he was looking forward to performing the song, which he wrote for the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of Her Majesty .
That performance will take place at the renaming of the St. Kitts National Capitol Park to the Royal Basseterre Valley National Park which is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:00 am.
The 3 times Calypso King of Nevis explained that the lyrics of the song are ?very respectful? of the 60 year reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the service she has rendered to charities within the Commonwealth.
?For instance the chorus says ?Let?s all celebrate, a reign that has been great ? Her Majesty?s Diamond Jubilee,?? Mr. O?Flaherty commented. ?Then it goes on, and ends with the refrain ?Elizabeth Regina, Elizabeth Regina, long may she reign. We may never see someone like she again.??
An auspicious ceremony has been planned which will culminate in a plaque unveiling ceremony for the 550 acre preserve which stretches along the Kim Collins Highway.
The calypsonian also encouraged nationals of the twin-island Federation, to go out and witness the public events that will feature the Royals. This includes a welcoming ceremony
at Port Zante at 9.40 am.
