The Launch that Was

On an overcast but sunny morning, about 150 guests gathered on the lawns of Jamaica House on Sunday June 1, to celebrate the publication of The Manley Memoirs with Beverley Manley. The mimosas flowed, the music was easy listening and the good vibes were unending. Surrounded by family, friends, colleagues and and well-wishers, Beverley thanked all of her supporters including all of 'her' children, the Manley children, Natasha and David, Rachel, Jo and Sara. Only Rachel could not attend.





Veteran actress and broadcasting colleague Leonie Forbes steered the proceedings along, Dr. Glenda Simms gave the feature address praising Beverley for her contribution in giving a voice to the role of women in society, and Della Manley thrilled guests with her stirring music. The formal programme was rounded out by our MD Christine Randle's closing remarks on the unprecedented response to the book.
