Robin­son's daugh­ter Ann Mar­garet, son David and grand­daugh­ter Anush­ka looked som­bre dur­ing the fu­ner­al.Among the re­gion­al lead­ers who at­tend­ed were Guyana Pres­i­dent Don­ald Ra­moutar, Grena­da Gov­er­nor Gen­er­al Dr Ce­cile La Grenade, Bar­ba­dos Prime Min­is­ter Fre­un­del Stu­art and An­tigua/Bar­bu­da Prime Min­is­ter Bald­win Spencer.No­tably ab­sent from the ser­vice were for­mer prime min­is­ters Bas­deo Pan­day and Patrick Man­ning. None of Robin­son's cab­i­net min­is­ters were seen at the ser­vice. One for­mer Na­tion­al Al­liance for Re­con­struc­tion min­is­ter said she re­ceived no in­vi­ta­tion and so did not at­tend.Chief cel­e­brant Rev­erend Dr Les­ley G An­der­son, of the Methodist Church, said the coun­try was grate­ful to God for Robin­son's life and ser­vice. He said Robin­son was a very out­stand­ing in­di­vid­ual who "served his coun­try with great dis­tinc­tion."

The fu­ner­al ser­vice be­gan short­ly be­fore the sched­uled 9.30 start. The au­di­to­ri­um was not packed to ca­pac­i­ty.Mas­ter of cer­e­monies, Wen­dell Con­stan­tine, had to an­nounce the ar­rival of Pres­i­dent Car­mona on more than one oc­ca­sion be­fore he en­tered. When the first an­nounce­ment was made at 9.15, it was Per­sad-Bisses­sar who en­tered.The crowd had to stand a sec­ond time a minute lat­er for the Pres­i­dent's ar­rival. And lat­er dur­ing the ser­vice, Robin­son's grand­daugh­ter, Anush­ka, was called to read Psalm 91, but there was no bible among the con­gre­ga­tion. Af­ter a few mo­ments she pro­ceed­ed to re­cite it from her head, which she did with­out er­ror.Robin­son's body was brought in­to NA­PA ear­li­er in a draped cas­ket and a fi­nal pro­ces­sion in the city.
