Renowned sculptor Phillip Moore’s body will be brought to Georgetown for a viewing today at the Square of the Revolution after several cultural groups intervened on behalf of his family.
The viewing will be held at 8 am in the backdrop of Moore’s most famous creation – the towering 1763 monument – prior to the funeral service later in the day at the Liverpool Community Centre, Corentyne. Moore passed away two Sundays ago and his family had been pressing for a viewing of his body in Georgetown and burial at Seven Ponds Place of Heroes in the Botanical Gardens. However, this had not been agreed to by the Ministry of Culture and historian Tom Dalgetty
