Entertainment fraternity pays respect to J Capri

The entertainment fraternity turned out in their numbers to pay their respect at Monday’s thanksgiving service for the life of entertainer J Capri.

At the service held at the University Chapel, Mona, singers and players of instruments as well as other affiliates of the industry joined hundreds of mourners inside the historic cut-stone chapel as well as under a tent pitched just outside.

The artiste succumbed to injuries she received in a motor vehicle accident along the Barbican Road in St Andrew on November 23. She died at the University Hospital of the West Indies on December 4.

Jamaica Observer photo editor Bryan Cummings captured some of the moments.
