Independence Anniversary State Reception

NASSAU, The Bahamas -- The annual State Reception observing the Anniversary of Bahamas Independence was held at Government House, July 10, 2026. The Reception was sombre, on this occasion without the customary cutting of the cake or toast, and with moments of silence, due to the tragic plane crash of that day. (BIS Photos/Letisha Henderson)
