Diwali on the Square Visit

A fruitful visit to Trafalgar Square on the 16th October helped to give useful knowledge on the Diwali celebration. On the day, we experienced the handing out of free sarees, but only a special few were given the traditional clothing. It then led to a speech from the host, who invited everyone to come and celebrate with them- using the words 'PAR-TY'. The celebration continued with a 3 hour long party, filled with different performances which he called 'items'. The performances consisted of the traditional dance, drum playing and influential speeches. Many people attended, making the place very crowded and busy- there was hardly any space.

We managed to get footage and photographs of the place, in which would appear in our news package once all the footage of other festivals is taken and edited.
