The grandmother was given a full civic service at St Joseph’s Church, West Street, which reflected her strong Christian faith.

Her daughters and granddaughter were supported by hundreds of people who encountered Cllr Edwards in the worlds of politics and business.

Father Leslie Adams led yesterday’s service for Cllr Edwards, who was born in the Seychelles.

She met her late husband Cyril in Jordan and they married in 1980 before going on to have two daughters, Marie and Tina.

The family ran the Hayling Ferry until it went bust last year.

In a eulogy, Councillor Leah Turner, mayor of Havant, recalled her memories of Cllr Edwards, of Oaklands Road, Havant.

She said: ‘She loved being a councillor and she was so very proud to be our first black councillor.

‘She was determined to become the first black mayor and, if it wasn’t for ill health, I feel sure she would have been.’

Cllr Turner added: ‘We at Havant Borough Council will all miss her bubbly personality and her enthusiasm.’

A family friend spoke on behalf of Cllr Edwards’ daughters and said she had a ‘contagious laugh and a zest for life’.

He said she grew up in the Seychelles before it was a tourist mecca, amongst steep hills with lush green vegetation, and witnessed spectacular sunsets every day, a ‘paradise’.

He said that after her beloved husband died in 1992 she brought her daughters up alone, ‘with loving devotion’.

As well as running the Hayling Ferry Cllr Edwards had several other jobs to make ends meet and he added: ‘She was never short of energy.’

‘Frida loved to travel and go back to her beloved Seychelles. She will be sadly missed. A beautiful daughter of the Seychelles.’

We had a long talk with the Havant Council our preferred choice - all those who supported and helped us. the Local MP. The criteria to get relocated. The Chartered accountant - much more important the frank conversation we had with the manageress of a posh Cafe and the Voluntary Service - we explained our situation and told them to introduce us to a witch a proper witch - she had said she knew somebody would I give my telephone number it told her I am a very important person in that Circle - arrange a meeting and we can meet.

There is a Law firm offering Legal Aid North side of the Church had a talk with them too. Copy of some of that crap landed in Strasbourg, European Court and French Officials and several Officials. This so call great England - how did the Emirate tower get the colour change because of my person issues a long list of other events and debacles and nobody for the Head of Economic Department mentioned her to me and he ought o have known - that Ferry Business would have been in operation still. Then they talk/shout of the great Illuminati. We were also looking at shop space or sharing space too. We are very aware our Facebook is monitored.

We want to ask the question to those learned personalities - the Bentley Buckle Family in Seychelles, East Africa Shipping line - the Family lived/lives not to gr from there, We have covered the issues at our thread - those English politicians, conservatives, Illuminati who know and must have know of the issues - yet. When he was alive must have know of the Ferry Service/Company. His involvement in that SIROP program and our Community wide project along with many others. Then again.
