Twelve years after his passing, one of Jamaica’s most loved reggae artistes, Dennis Emmanuel Brown was posthumously awarded the Commander of The Order of Distinction by the Government of Jamaica. The award was accepted by his late widow, Yvonne Brown. The event which was held on National Heroes day took place at Kings House in the capital city, Kingston.

Later on that evening the Dennis Brown Trust Foundation held a special celebration in honour of the Crown Prince of Reggae, among those who performed were George Nooks, Freddie McGregor, Bongo Herman, Pam Hall, Big Youth and Marla and Dina, both daughters of Dennis Brown. The event took place at Chasers Cafe, New Kingston.
