Sir Trevor hails Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2009
T
rinidad and Tobago born
veteran British journalist,
Sir Trevor McDonald (pictured),
described this year’s Carnival as one
of the best carnivals which Trinidad
and Tobago has seen in the last 20
years.
Sir Trevor identified the presence of
local security forces as one of the
reasons which made Carnival 2009
such a success.
Speaking with Newsday while his
ITV team was filming Carnival
festivities at the Queen’s Park
Savannah, Sir Trevor said that the
recording of Carnival 2009
celebrations formed part of a
documentary about the Caribbean
entitled, “Trevor McDonald’s Secret
Caribbean.” Stating that his crew had
already visited Cuba, Jamaica, the
Bahamas, Montserrat and Antigua to
record different parts of the
documentary, Sir Trevor said that no
documentary about the Caribbean
would be complete without a good
Trini Carnival. “It’s observations
about the Caribbean and it’s to be
shown in England in late summer,”
he stated. “Carnival had to be a part
of it. It’s wonderful. It’s as glorious
as I remember it. I used to be
broadcasting this for about 15 years
before I left here. I have not been
back for a long, long time. It must
have been about 20 years,” he said.

numbers for the carnival celebrations.
