On April 27th 1961, Sierra Leone became politically independent from Great Britain. It retained a parliamentary system of government and was a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations. The Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP), led by Sir Milton Margai was victorious in the first general election under adult franchise in May 1962.
Today we celebrated with the Day Volunteers with a flag cake at lunch and wearing Sierra Leone flag colours. Crew, in honour of our Day Volunteers, sang the national anthem. In response, the Day Volunteers, said their pledge to the flag.
May the next 50 years for Sierra Leone be full of peace and blessing!
