On Sunday 25 February, thousands of Grenadians - and visitors too - flocked to the Queens Park ground for a rededication of the National Stadium, a 20/20 cricket match and some fireworks.

While the approximately 10,000 spectators were singing along to musical artistes Inspector and Sheldon Douglas, the ICC's local security chief Superintendent Franklyn Redhead was busy observing and assessing aspects of spectator access and processing. A few days after the event, I sat down with Supt Redhead, a 22 year veteran of the Royal Grenada Police Force – 15 of those years spent in the Coast Guard – to get his assessment of the day's exercise.

Nuff road works still in progress too.
