I'm sure St. Lucia is pleased to host them. And we even more pleased to have them here this evening to be on some very fit St. Lucia's from all walks of life. St. Lucia's who have worked and toiled for St. Lucia, who have in some way made a contribution to our island, to make our island what it is today. I want to thank them for accepting. I also want to thank Eurohynesses for being here to bestow the award upon them. All I have to say is to thank you for coming. To thank our esteemed visitors. We hope that they enjoyed St. Lucia. We hope they enjoyed our island. And I'd like them to give our best greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, to inform her that St. Lucia is very excited on the same day of year. And we hope that all goes well and we show the best. I thank you very much.
