Several Grenadians flocked to St. Vincent and the Grenadines over the weekend to witness the ascendancy of Canon Leopold Friday to the head of the Anglican Community in the Windward Islands.

It was a fitting tribute to the Vincentian-born Friday who has been administering to Anglicans in Grenada for over a decade.

Among the locals who made the short trip over to St. Vincent were Opposition Leader Tillman Thomas and his colleague from the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter David. Health Minister Ann David-Antoine represented Grenada Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell at the events held in St. Vincent at which Cannon Friday became the head of the Anglican Diocese in the Windward Islands.

Cannon Friday was a Customs Officer in St. Vincent before joining the Anglican priesthood.
