Prince Harry arrives

Prince Harry, in the British High Commission vehicle, is driven past the protestors.

Britain’s Prince Henry arrived yesterday for a three-day visit that began with a hectic schedule of events, which included laying a wreath at the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Kingston to pay homage to those who died in World Wars I and II.

Better known as Prince Harry, the fifth in line to the British throne is wrapping up a two-week tour of the Caribbean as the representative of Queen Elizabeth II. His visit to Guyana will in part commemorate the country’s 50th anniversary of independence from Britain.

The Prince touched down at around 12.58 pm at the Eugene F Correia International Airport at Ogle aboard a Trans Guyana aircraft.
