BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL colours lit up the streets of the capital city yesterday morning as excited students from St Aloysius Primary School marched around a section of Kingston with pride of spirit in celebration of Jamaica Day.

Representing Jamaica's motto 'Out Of Many One People', the students donned costumes depicting the Tainos, Chinese, Africans, Spaniards, English, and East Indians.

With strains of Jamaican folk music echoing from the vehicle leading the march, the darling children, with parents and teachers marching alongside them, were more than happy to showcase their talent to onlookers.

Jamaica Day is traditionally celebrated the last Friday in February as schools seek to teach the leaders of tomorrow the history and traditions of their country.
