Islanders pay final respects to St. Lucia prime minister

International Herald Tribune: "CASTRIES, St. Lucia: Hundreds of islanders filed past the casket of Prime Minister John Compton on Monday, paying final respects to a three-time leader of St. Lucia revered for delivering independence from Britain. Trees and buildings across the tiny Caribbean island were decorated with bunting in the national colors of yellow, blue and black ahead of a state funeral Tuesday for Compton, who died Sept. 7 at age 82."
