Tribute to Honorary Consul in Montego Bay, Jamaica (10/09/2009)
Foreign Secretary has paid tribute to John Terry MBE Honorary Consul in Montego Bay, Jamaica who died on 9 September 2009.
David Miliband said: "I, and all his colleagues, were deeply saddened to hear of the death of John Terry, the British Honorary Consul in Montego Bay in Jamaica.
"John Terry was a key member of our team in Jamaica and had been an Honorary Consul for 13 years, but with many years of other service to the British community in Jamaica before then. Honorary Consuls like John play a valuable role in our work overseas and this was especially true of John who helped many, many British visitors to Jamaica over the years. My thoughts are with his wife and children. He will be greatly missed too by colleagues and all those who knew him.
"We are following the Jamaican authorities' investigation closely."
