In 2022, the Government of Barbados invited submissions to design a Monument in National Heroes Square. The design brief called for a monument, “Commemorating the Journey of the Family”, in Barbados.
The name of the submission for the National Heroes Square Monument proposal for Barbados is “We Loyal Sons And Daughters All”.

It is the design of Vincent Jones and Hugh Holder.

INDEPENDENCE DAY
Independence Day on Barbados is celebrated with much fanfare, pomp and ceremony. The main event is a big parade, held on the Garrison Savannah, with the Barbados Defence Force, Barbados Regiment, the police force, police band, cadets, Scouts, Girl Guides and the Barbados Landship, to name a few, taking part. There’s often a military parade for visiting dignitaries, while blue and yellow lights adorn public buildings and roundabouts across the island, signifying the colours of the national flag.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF BARBADOS INDEPENDENCE
In 1627, the British landed in Holetown and established a colony. From this came sugar plantations and with them, slaves from Africa. This was a long and dreadful period for the island, and it continued right up until 1834 when slavery was abolished. By 1937 poor economic conditions on the island led to rioting, and recognising the need for social change, politician and lawyer Grantley Adams founded the Barbados Labour Party (BLP).

In 1955, Errol Walton Barrow — disillusioned with the BLP and the island’s growing unemployment — formed the Democratic Labour.

Party (DLP) and began the push for independence. This was achieved on the 30th November 1966 when Barbados ended 361 years of British rule and became an independent sovereign state. Errol Barrow became the first prime minister. During his time in power, the party expanded the tourist industry to reduce the island’s economic dependence on sugar, introduced national health insurance and social security, and extended free education to all levels. It was thanks to these two national heroes that Barbados is the prosperous and proud nation we know today.
