And she's off....

Miss World Bahamas Nyah Bandelier is on her way to London where she will carry the nation’s banner in the world’s oldest and most prestigious pageant - Miss World! Bidding her farewell at the Lynden Pindling International Airport were members of her immediate family as well as executives of the Miss Bahamas Organization.

“Months of hard work, long hours, no blood but certainly sweat and tears, have all led to this moment... MISS WORLD, HERE I COME!” said an excited Nyah as she prepared to board her flight. “Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Excited to begin this once in a lifetime journey!”

Nyah will be competing with over 100 delegates from around the world.
