How did most Caymanians respond to the UN's 1977 fact-finding mission about independence?

Most Caymanians responded to the UN's 1977 fact-finding mission by singing "God Save the Queen." This reflects the loyalty and affection many residents had towards the British monarchy during that period. The act of singing the anthem can be interpreted as a public demonstration of support for continued association with Britain rather than a call for independence. At that time, many Caymanians valued the security and stability they believed came from being a British Overseas Territory, and this response highlights their sense of identity and cultural allegiance to Britain.

The other responses do not accurately capture the sentiments expressed by the Caymanian community at the time. There was no widespread call for immediate independence, nor was there a formal petition issued during this period. Remaining silent and passive does not accurately represent the active cultural response witnessed through the singing of the anthem. The act itself served as a means of protest against the notion of independence rather than a passive acceptance of the status quo.
