The Caribbean island's governor-general says "the time has come to fully leave our colonial past behind".

 

Barbados has announced its intention to remove the Queen as its head of state and become a republic next year.

 

The Caribbean island said it wants "full sovereignty" by the time it celebrates its 55th anniversary of independence from the UK in November 2021.

 

A speech written by Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley quoted its first premier Errol Barrow who warned against "loitering on colonial premises".
