Hamilton’s Par-la-Ville Park was renamed Queen Elizabeth Park in a ceremony over the weekend.The event was hosted by city Mayor Charles Gosling and attended by Governor Richard Gozney and Minister of Public Works Michael Weeks in the capacity of Acting Premier.The name change was designed to honour the work of The Queen, who is the second longest British reigning monarch, who is celebrating her Diamond Jubilee this year.The Mayor said: “The last time Bermuda similarly honoured a ruling monarch was in 1889 when Queen Victoria celebrated her golden jubilee and the marshy area known as Deane’s Bottom become Victoria Park, Hamilton’s first park with an accompanying bandstand.”He said of the latest name change: “The renamed park stands as a testament and a recognition to Her Majesty’s tirelessness in her duty [and] her commitment to the obligations of state and church.”Mr Weeks said: “Despite the rapidly changing world, the Queen has proven to be a constant. During her reign, Her Majesty has ensured stability.“She inspires confidence, is the very picture of poise and grace and an example to all of dignity in action.“We can all be proud today of being a part of this institution and it is entirely fitting that this park be renamed in her honour.”He said there will be other events to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.“It is my hope that this celebration unites us, for we can all agree, no matter what one’s political philosophy, that Her Majesty has sought to progress the fortunes of her subjects,” he added.
