The Shearstown Brass Band is shown playing at the Pentecostal Tabernacle in Port de Grave on Saturday.
John Efford’s life was celebrated in his home town of Port de Grave on Saturday.
As was customary during his political career, the Shearstown Brass Band led the march to the Pentecostal tabernacle.
The popular and charismatic Efford, who served as a cabinet minister in federal and provincial Liberal governments during a 16-year career, died Jan. 2 after a long illness.
This afternoon, family and friends gathered to remember “Landslide John,” so named for his many uneven victories and many accomplishments during his lifetime.
The weather also looks promising for a memorial flotilla due to depart from Port de Grave at around 2pm on Sunday.
The destination is Green’s Point, where the family will lay a wreath and scatter Efford’s ashes in the water.
The flotilla can be seen by the public from the Port de Grave lighthouse.
