Sir Donald Sangster led the JLP to victory in the first general election held in independent Jamaica in 1967. He had been acting Prime Minister since 1964 when the first Prime Minister, Sir Alexander Bustamante fell ill and withdrew from public life.

After being sworn in as Prime Minister, Mr. Sangster was preparing his Budget speech when he suffered from a sub-arachnid haemorrhage and was flown to the Montreal Neuro-Psychological Institute for treatment. He succumbed on April 11 and his body was flown home to a nation enveloped in grieving.

After an official funeral with full national honours he was laid to rest in National Heroes Park, where all persons who have held the office of prime minister are to be buried. He was the first.

The public is invited to attend the 'Symposium on the Life and Times of Sir Donald Sangster' at the Clarendon College auditorium, Chapelton, on Wednesday, April 11.
