King Charles visited Independence Park in Georgetown, Guyana, to reflect at the site where enslaved Africans were executed following the Demerara Rebellion of 1823, one of the largest uprisings in British colonial history. The King was accompanied by Guyana's Minister of Culture Steven Jacobs, who showed him a plaque commemorating those hanged from gallows on the former parade ground. The visit comes during a Caribbean tour on which Charles has acknowledged 'great suffering of the past' and confirmed that slavery's legacy will be discussed at a Commonwealth leaders' summit in Antigua.
