The Sikhs of Southall joined hundreds of thousands of Sikhs across the country by taking to the streets to celebrate Vaisakhi. Participants included all kinds of people including children from the Khalsa Primary school

On Sunday (April 12) thousands of Sikhs held a religious procession from Havelock Road Gurdwara at 11am, through the streets of the surrounding area, to finish at Park Avenue Gurdwara at 4pm.

They gave away free food to all and singing hymns, with displays of martial-arts also part of the celebrations.

This is an annual event that has been held by Sikhs all over the world for more than 300 years and, in Britain, for over 40 years.

A similar celebration took place in Hounslow last month.
