A Man Of Honour

Sunday Social

Political living legend, Edward Philip George Seaga was the star attraction Friday night as he was honoured by The Consular Corps of Jamaica and presented with the diplomatic association’s inaugural Global Achievement Award at a black tie dinner reception hosted at Spanish Court Hotel’s Valencia MLT.

Nattily outfitted in a classic tuxedo, and joined by wife Carla and daughter Gabrielle, the 86-year-old Seaga’s gait may have slowed with age, but his sharp conversational sensibilities and quick deftness at recounting a storied life as a statesman and visionary brought out scores of admirers from the diplomatic, commerce, and government spheres, to celebrate a most-deserved recognition.
