Premier of Nevis Hon Joseph Parry and Cabinet Secretary in the Nevis island Administration Mr Ashley Farrell left Nevis earlier today to join a delegation from the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis who will attend the state funeral of the late Sir John Compton, Former Prime Minister of St. Lucia.
 
Mr. Parry told the Department of Information moments before he departed from the Charlestown Pier on Tuesday September 18th, 2007 that he would attend the funeral to pay respects on behalf of the people of Nevis and the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) which is an affiliate of the United Workers Party of St. Lucia which Mr. Compton headed since 1964.
 
“He [Sir John] served many, many years as the Prime Minister of St. Lucia and has been one of the longest serving politicians in the Eastern Caribbean. He started his career in 1954 but more than that Mr. Compton’s Party and the Nevis Reformation Party have been sister parties over the years.
