TRINIDAD and Tobago’s 60th Independence Day celebrations are once again being celebrated by Google Doodle.
On Wednesday, the Google logo was designed to reflect the national colours of red, white and black with the national flag on display on the search engine.
The description on Doodle told a bit about Trinidad and Tobago’s history and break from colonialism from the British in 1962. Trinidad and Tobago celebrated 60 years of Independence from Britain on Wednesday.
It stated, “Today’s Doodle celebrates Trinidad & Tobago’s Independence Day. Depicted in today’s artwork, the Trinidad and Tobago national flag features a red field with a diagonal black stripe and white borders. On this day in 1962, the flag was raised for the first time when the twin island declared independence from Britain.”
Doodle stated, “Trinidadians and Tobagonians commemorate the day with open-air concerts and family outings. The day’s ceremonies kick off with an official Independence Day parade in the country’s capital, Port of Spain. Spectators dress in national colours and gather at Queen’s Park Savannah, the oldest recreational ground in the West Indies, while musicians play Trinbagonian music. Later in the day, a massive firework display takes place at the Savannah. Happy Independence Day, Trinidad & Tobago!”
