Millwall Football Club was delighted to host Governor-General of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Her Excellency Dame Marcella Liburd, at The Den for Saturday's Sky Bet Championship fixture against Portsmouth.
As part of an official visit to the United Kingdom to attend the investiture ceremony hosted by His Majesty King Charles III on 1st April, the club was honoured to welcome Her Excellency during her stay, and demonstrate some of the amazing work achieved in the local area alongside Millwall Community Trust.
"I'm so overwhelmed," Her Excellency told millwallfc.co.uk. "It's great to be here. "I'd like to thank Bryan and all the others who helped me get here.
"I'm so impressed with Millwall Community Trust and the work that is does, that really touched me, the way they help in poverty areas. All in all, it's been an amazing visit and I want to wish the team the very best!"
Mark Fairbrother, Managing Director at The Den, added: "It was an honour to welcome Her Excellency at her party from St Kitts & Nevis to The Den last weekend.
"A huge thanks goes to Bryan King for showcasing the fantastic work of Millwall Community Trust, most notably in Lewisham and Southwark - it was brilliant to be able to show them round the stadium and the Lions Centre alongside Sean Daly.
"What a great game to have as your first at The Den!"
Sean Daly, MCT CEO said: "It was great to welcome Governor-General of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Her Excellency Dame Marcella Liburd to The Den on Saturday.
"Her Excellency was very interested in the community work we do and how a football club engages in the local community around social issues, health, anti-social behaviour and EDI."
"The Community Trust was able to show some good practice throughout the visit."
