The Federal Cabinet has requested that the National Flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis be flown at half-mast at all Government buildings and establishments throughout the Federation effective Friday 30th June 2023 in tribute to His Excellency Sir Tapley Seaton GCMG, CVO, KC, JP, LLD.
Half-mast means the flag is flown halfway down the flagpole from the top. The position of the Flag when flying at half-mast will depend on the size of the flag, the length of the mast, and its location.
The National Flags of Saint Kitts and Nevis will be flown at half-mast until the day of his burial. His Excellency Sir Tapley Seaton will be afforded a State Funeral at a time and place to be determined by his family.
Sir Tapley Seaton passed away on Thursday 29th June 2023.
The Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis and the entire nation mourn the loss of this son of the soil who gave yeoman service to his nation and the wider Caribbean region.
