Gallery | Edward Seaga State Funeral

Late Jamaican statesman Edward Seaga was on Sunday lauded by long-time political rival P.J. Patterson as a “titanic warrior” whose patriotism and legacy in nation-building set him aside as an Independence-era legend.

Addressing the congregation under the ornate ceiling of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity in downtown Kingston, Patterson said that Seaga was a fearless leader whose legislative work was unparalleled during his 43-year tenure as member of parliament.
