Late veteran toaster Ewart 'U Roy' Beckford will be buried on March 28 and his body will lie in state at the National Arena on March 25 so that the public can say their final farewells to the beloved singer.
"Minister Olivia Grange is organising the viewing which will take place on March 25th at the National Arena. He will have to go to Dovecot as they are not burying anyone else in National Heroes Park," U Roy's partner of 40-plus years, Marcia Smikle, told
Loop News.
"I am trying to get a big church so that social distancing can be observed because I am not sure that the 10 people stipulation because of COVID can work with a popular public figure like U Roy, a lot of people want to be there," she said.
