Honours in distinction

The 2024 Ceremony of investiture and Presentation of National Honours and Awards was executed in fine style on Monday with applause and cheers punctuating the formal occasion.

Moved indoors consequent to the threat of rain, recipients filed into the National Indoor Sports Centre to be recognised for their contribution in varied fields and activities of national life.

The entertainment fraternity was duly represented with investitures across the musical and theatrical landscape, along with performances showcasing exquisite local talent.

We share a few scenes:
