The moment of truth is near for Miss Bermuda Lillian Lightbourn, attending the Miss World Pageant in London, where the grand close of the competition looms today.

Earlier today, Ms Lightbourn posted online that she has made the top 25 in the People’ Choice category — and urged her supporters to keep on voting.

“It’s the big day and I’m excited to get on that stage,” Lillian added.

The 24-year-old Bermudian model recently told The Royal Gazette that her island origins proved a challenge in standing out.

“I appreciate anything I get from people — whether it’s an e-mail saying they voted for me in the People’s Choice Award or the Multimedia Category, or just offering me a word of encouragement,” she said.

“It makes me want to push it to the limit and try my hardest to get things done. But I’ve realised it takes teamwork to make the dream work. I really can’t do it by myself.”
