One week ago, Trinidad and Tobago gathered for the 57th National Awards Ceremony, an evening dedicated to celebrating citizens whose service and achievements continue to contribute to the nation’s story.The ceremony was especially significant as the nation marked 50 years as a Republic, bringing together National Awardees, past recipients of the Trinity Cross and Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, distinguished guests and members of the national community.Welcoming guests with the sound of steel, the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force Steel Orchestra set the tone for an evening of celebration. From the stirring rendition of the National Anthem by young pannist Daniel Gulston of the Down Syndrome Family Network, to the vibrant presentation by the Khalnayak Academy of Dance, and a moving performance of The Impossible Dream by LeAndra, the evening also celebrated the richness of our culture and the promise of generations to come.As we reflect on an evening that honoured service and celebrated achievement, we share some moments from the 57th National Awards Ceremony. 📸See link to the event album: flic.kr/s/aHBqjD68sc
