Two hundred and six persons were recognised for their service to the nation at this year’s National Honours and Awards ceremony.

The list was headed by renowned singer, songwriter and actor, Harry Belafonte, who could not be present for the event. The 91-year-old earned the Order of Merit, the country’s fourth highest award, for his outstanding contribution in the field of music.
