THE bridge to Paradise Island was officially named after renowned Oscar-winning actor Sir Sydney Poitier today.
#Hundred of spectators witnessed the unveiling of a plaque that will be placed on an obelisk just to the west of the bridge.
#Mr Poitier during his brief remarks reminded the school children who came for the ceremony that they are the future of the country.
#Prime Minister Perry Christie call Mr Poitier the "most famous Bahamian in the whole wide world".
#"Indeed he is the most globally famous Bahamian of all times," said Mr Christie.
#"But it’s not because of his fame that we’re re-naming this bridge for Sir Sydney. Rather, it’s because of the great things that he has done, both on the screen and off the screen, throughout his life."
