THE late Mr. Hector Bunyan, Ex-Serviceman and former President of the Guyana Legion, will be laid to rest today.
A member of the Bunyan household yesterday said the body will be open for viewing at the Lyken Chapel at John and Norton Streets from 13:00. This would be followed by a Thanksgiving Service for the life of the late Ex-serviceman, beginning at 14:00 hrs.
The body will later be interred at the Le Repentir cemetery.
The late Hector Bunyan passed away on Sunday at his South Ruimveldt Park home after a brief period of illness.  His death came just 48 hours before his 90th birth anniversary.
Of international acclaim, Mr. Bunyan was a member of the British Guiana Contingent that formed part of the South Caribbean Forces during the days of the global conflict, (spanning 1939-1945) better known as World War II. That body, comprising conscripted members from the various Caribbean territories, was put together by the English during 1945, and functioned as a support or back-up group to frontline soldiers.
It was decommissioned at the end of the war following mopping-up operations, and Bunyan returned home to British Guiana in 1947.
This late citizen of renown gravitated to the legal arena in 1948, serving as a Note Taker within the courts, and moving on to become a Justice of the Peace (JP)as well.
