“He will be buried with full military honours so it will be similar to state funerals. He will receive full military honours. Of course, during the time of COVID-19, certain protocols will have to be adhered to so it will be a scaled down funeral, but it will be full military honours and nothing will be left unattended. So he will receive the full military honours that the Belize Defence Force can provide.”
