New island republic - 8th December 2021
Barbados is now a new republic.
The Caribbean island became a country in 1966. But the Queen of England was its head of state.
Barbados's first president is Dame Sandra Mason. She's hopeful about the future.
Dame Sandra Mason: "Vessel Republic Barbados has set sail on her maiden voyage. May she weather all storms and land our country and citizens safely on the horizons and shores which are ahead of us."
Prince Charles spoke about the country's journey and its hard work.
Prince Charles: "The creation of this republic offers a new beginning. But it also marks a point on a continuum. A milestone on the long road you have not only travelled, but which you have built."
All the politicians made a new promise. They will work for and help the republic.
The country's prime minister is Mia Amor Mottley. She wants everyone to work together.
Mia Amor Mottley: "396 years of a system of government is not two years. And it is with that in mind that I am conscious that we have a responsibility as of December 1st, tomorrow, to ensure that our nation moves as one."
1st December is now Independence Day in Barbados. Barbadian singer Rihanna got a special prize. She's now the country's National Hero.
Rihanna: "I have travelled the world and received several awards and recognitions, but nothing, nothing compares to being recognized in the soil that you grew in."
Rihanna is a good example for young Barbadians. They can be successful too.
