REACTIONS TO VIRTUAL PARTY MONARCH

News emerged yesterday about a virtual Party Monarch competition to be held next month.
Only ten finalists will be selected to compete virtually in the final round on Emancipation Day, and must be accompanied by a band.
All this of course has been necessary because of the COVID-19 pandemic which has made it impossible for the event to be held in the traditional manner.
So what do members of the public think about a virtual competition this year?
Here are some of their responses from the streets of St John’s today.
