So while the Tenth will have its usual ceremony and parade, we turn back briefly to the Belize currency - the family of notes that underpin our local economy.
Some in the public have expressed misgivings about removing the Queen's image from those notes - but as you heard the Governor of the Central Bank say in our first story, the death of the queen has no bearing at all on the value of the notes.
In fact, money minters advise that it is sometimes preferable that the figure on the notes is dead:
Kareem Michael, Govenor - Central Bank of Belize
"They have advise always that you want to at least have that person be honourable, a national for example with dignity, a person of the highest level of integrity and go a little further by saying if you put somebody on at an early stage, realize that things may happen later on, a scandal of some sort which you might be face then, embarrassment, do to speak and even then if you had a hero who is up there in age and passes with a scratch or blemish on his/her record then fine and there are numerous examples of this across the globe where there are dead presidents or past national heroes were on the face of these notes and currencies."
"We had discussions with our printers and this subject has been brought up before where they've have confirmed or asked us to consider whether or not we would like somebody else on the note and ofcourse by what you have seen, the answer has been for us to stick with the late Queen and that has a lot of other historical context and governance next to it and I think you are familiar with that as well being the head of state. Other countries in the Caribbean have moved away from it and in our past we have updated her likeness, so the Queen was introduced on our bill and I think there abouts in 1973 or 1975 and we have before that it was King George."
