First, the route for the city procession has been announced.
At 7:30 On Saturday morning, the body will be transported from the KHMH morgue in a procession led by the BDF through the streets of Belize City to the Bliss Center where it will lie in state from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The route will be almost the same as the procession for Sir Barry and it is as follows: From St. Thomas Street, LEFT into Freetown Road, RIGHT into Mapp Street, LEFT into North Front Street, RIGHT over Swing Bridge, into Albert Street, LEFT into Treasury Lane and into the Bliss Center for the Performing Arts.
Mourners are expected to come from across the country to pay their respects at the Bliss Center.
At 3:30 the body will be taken to the Holy Redeemer Cathedral where a private mass will be held by the family of the late Rt. Hon. George Price to celebrate his life. It is officially said to be private but we understand it will be more than that, as PUP supporters are expected to attend.
After that service it will be taken to Belmopan and there will be another chance to see the body pass. The body will go form the Holy Redeemer Cathedral LEFT on to Queen Street - where it will pause in front of Independence Hall, Left into New Road, Left into Hydes Lane, Left on to North Front Street, RIGHT over Swing Bridge, Albert Street, RIGHT into Orange Street, Cemetery Road, Central American Blvd Roundabout, Western Highway, LEFT into the Hummingbird Highway, Left into Constitution Drive, RIGHT onto Culvert Road, on to Ring Road, RIGHT into Price Center Road and RIGHT into the George Price Center for Peace and Development.
And then for those in Belmopan, On Sunday 25th September the body will lie in state from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the George Price Center.
