Date and length fine, AGF on book source. My preference is for the original as it seems more appropriate for Bahaman independence. QPQ done. No close paraphrasing. IF you wish to include the Bahaman flag, I think it might be a nice accompaniment. Good to go for the 10th. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:27, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
