Learie Constantine was born on 23 September 1902 in Diego Martin, Trinidad. He was knighted in Britain in 1962, and awarded a life peerage in 1969. When he died in London in July 1971, he bore the impressive if curiously mixed title Baron Constantine of Maraval in Trinidad and of Nelson in the County Palatine of Lancaster. A full State Funeral was held for him in Trinidad, and later a memorial service in Westminster Abbey.1 These would be remarkable honours for anyone; for a black West Indian like Constantine, whose homeland was a British colony during most of his life, they are not less than extraordinary: they indicate that if he was not the most eminent, he was certainly one of the best known West Indians of his day
