Popular educator and entertainer, Kirwyn Mars, also known by the sobriquet, ‘Sir Mars’, was yesterday laid to rest.
Hundreds gathered to bid their last farewell to ‘Sir Mars’ in a ceremony that was fittingly held on the tarmac of the National Cultural Centre, a building in which Sir Mars for many years had performed, to the delight of audiences.
Along with family and friends, and the gathering also included, Minister of Labour, Joseph Hamilton; former Chief Education Officer, Marcel Hutson; Leader of the Opposition, Aubrey Norton; Guyana Teachers Union members, fellow comedians and actors.
