Sources: The Royal Gazette (Hamilton) and Bermuda public holidays. Last July, Bermuda Premier, Dr. Ewart Brown, pledged to dedicate a public holiday to the memory of Dame Lois Browne-Evans following her recent death (our post of May 31).This has now come to pass, as the government yesterday announced the renaming of the May 24 public holiday from "Bermuda Day" to "Heroes' Day", with Dame Lois Browne-Evans to be celebrated as Bermuda's first 'national hero' on May 24, 2008.
