The National Awards held on Republic Day (September 24), saw several citizens being recognised for their dedicated service to Trinidad and Tobago.
According to the Office of the President, every citizen, on being awarded a National Award, becomes a Member of The Distinguished Society of Trinidad and Tobago, of which the President is Chancellor. Every non-citizen, on being awarded a National Award, becomes an Honorary Member of the Distinguished Society.
Here is a look back in pictures at some of the new members of The Distinguished Society of Trinidad and Tobago.
