Bermuda Day 1995 will be a day to remember.

This year, the focus of the parade will be the environment and an American group called the Mummers, consisting of a band and bikes, will add a little flavour to the entertainment. They will be arriving by cruise ship.

"I'm sure that Bermudians will come out as usual and see the festive occasion provided the weather holds up,'' Mr. Furbert said.

Director of the Ministry of Cultural and Community Affairs Mr. Henry Douglas said the number of entries in tomorrow's parade totals 39, one fewer than last year.

And he added that this was the 20th anniversary of the Warwick majorettes who would have a special entry in celebration.

Bermuda Day will be officially opened tomorrow morning by the Premier the Hon.

Sir John Swan, with remarks also being made by Opposition Leader Mr. Frederick Wade.

The pre-assembly of floats for judging will be at the Bulls Head car park between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.

The judging of the floats will be at Bulls Head between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. and they will assemble on Par-La-Ville Road between 11 a.m. and 1.45 p.m.

The parade starts promptly at 2 p.m. and will progress along Front Street, via Court Street, Church Street, Cedar Avenue, Marsh Folly Road and Dutton Avenue, to Bernard Park. Activities at Bernard Park begin at noon.

And with the parade and the marathon taking place tomorrow, Government has decided to honour the king of the Marathon Derby "Sir'' Stanley Burgess.

Today has been designated "Sir'' Stanley Burgess Day in honour of a man who participated in the Bermuda Day marathon for over 50 years. He died in 1984.

Diminutive "Sir'' Stanley always sported a white handkerchief tied around his head and the marathon colours of red and gold on his shirt when he ran the annual race.

"Sir'' Stanley was never officially knighted by the Queen, but rather by the people of Bermuda who recognised his outstanding participation in the annual race tradition.

"Sir'' Stanley ran his first marathon in 1921, when he was 20. He won the race in 1926 and by the time he retired from running he had won it a total of 10 times. He ran his last race in 1983, the year he turned 83.

His marathon preparation began with a bath in port wine, honey, beet tops and rum. He would then rub his legs with tincture of myrrh, turtle oil, oil of wintergreen with hazel and old rum. "Sir'' Stanley was awarded the Queen's Certificate and Badge of Honour in 1971.
