Governor sends condolences to Boston mayor

The Governor, George Fergusson, has expressed his horror at the explosions at the Boston Marathon and his deep sorrow at the loss of life and the terrible injuries.

He has sent the following message to Boston’s Mayor, Tom Menino:

“I wanted to let you know how much the people of Bermuda feel shock, sadness and solidarity with our neighbours in Boston today.  Margaret and I recall the streets and many of the people involved vividly from my time in Boston as Consul-General – and very many Bermudians are just as familiar with the City. You and the City have our admiration, sympathy and warm support.”

He has also written in similar terms to Boston’s Police Commissioner, Ed Davis.
