Hundreds of Vincentians turned out to pay their last respects at his funeral service which was held at Kingstown Methodist Church.
The service was also attended by Government and opposition officials, members of the diplomatic corps, foreign dignitaries along with a large cross-section of Central Govt employees.
The sermon was delivered by Methodist Minister Monty Maule while a tribute to Sir Vincent was delivered by his son Glen Beache.
Sir Beache was a former representative for the North Central Windward and South Windward constituency, Leader of the Opposition and a Minister of Agriculture, and National Security.
Internment took place at the Kingstown Cemetery.
Look for me in Rainbows
Time for me to go now, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Time for me to leave you, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me, and I’ll be close to you.
It won’t be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Just wish me to be near you,
And I’ll be there with you.
