It took a long time and the clergymen including Bishops Gibson, McEleney, Hastings and the Jewish rabbi had to wait for the lights to come back on. I was pretty close to the flagpole which was in front of the grandstand, and with all the flashbulbs popping, I could see a member of the JDF trying to pull the rope knot with his teeth. The stadium was darkened at about 5 minutes to midnight to do the exchanges, but it seemed to be taking much longer than the rehearsed time. The plan was that the Union Jack was to be taken down with all the lights in the stadium out and the new Jamaica flag put on the flagpole and pulled up as the new anthem is played. All the activities were pre-rehearsed to make sure there were not any gaffes during the ceremony. I was working as an assistant cameraman with the Jamaica Film unit at the National Stadium. We had to learn the new National Anthem.On the 6th we were given a small flag and a metal cup in the choice of either green or gold and we sang our new anthem all day long.

There was a sense of excitement in the air. I was a second grader at Jones Town Primary School at the time. I clearly remember seeing the UNION JACK go down as the Black Green and Gold was hoisted up the flagpole. There were representatives from the primary school and high schools, Boy Scouts, Brownies, Girl Guides, Rangers, Boys Brigade and Girls Brigade, and of course, we marched proudly to the melodious sounds of our prestigious Jamaica Military Band. All white socks were newly purchased and the new black shoes sparkled from polishing. We, (school children) proudly lined the driveway of Kings House in our starched and well-ironed navy blue tunics with white blouses. There were garden parties everywhere as we proudly established the new members of government who would facilitate the transition from colonial rule to INDEPENDENCE. I do believe Denbeigh in Maypen was one of the rural events we enjoyed as well as some affairs in Montego Bay. There were float parades, Independence dances, costumed queen competitions, festival song competitions, and other events islandwide. My father, now deceased made sure the family attended all the functions surrounding the event, from вЂњRace CourseвЂќ and Ward Theatre to Kings House. The whole island was abuzz with preparation for the big day in August. Everyone especially the school children had to learn the words of the National Anthem, the National Pledge, and the National Motto, not to mention the meaning of the colours of the new Jamaican Flag. There were rehearsals to attend and there was much excitement in the air. We received green or gold coloured cups bearing the Jamaica Coat of Arms, flags, pens and other paraphernalia. I remember clearly the excitement and anticipation of the pending August celebrations. Indian athletes won a record seven medals at the Tokyo Games, including one gold, two silver, and four bronze.I was a little girl attending a now-defunct private preparatory school in Kingston. IndiaвЂ™s Olympic contingent, which posted its best Olympic performance at the recently concluded Games in Tokyo, has been invited by Prime Minister Modi for the Independence Day ceremony at the Red Fort. In addition, the PMOвЂ™s Twitter account will provide live updates of the speech. The official YouTube channel of the Prime MinisterвЂ™s Office (PMO) will also broadcast the national address.
