Trinidad and Tobago’s acting High Commissioner to London Jenny Thompson will represent the country at Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral on Saturday at 3 pm, at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
Though Thompson is acting high commissioner, Buckingham Palace agreed that she will represent the country in the capacity of Acting Defence Adviser at the funeral.
In an e-mail to Newsday, the British High Commission pointed out that Thompson will be the only woman and civilian involved in this way.
It said, “Reflecting His Royal Highness’ Commonwealth military-specific relationships, the defence attaches/advisers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and TT will be positioned outside the chapel on the day of the funeral.

This can put your own life and the lives of others at risk, and you don’t want to make a split-second decision that you regret for the rest of your life,” McHugh said.
