Lots of events and commemorations in the Sikh community for the First World War Centenary.
In Newcastle this weekend, Sikhs remembered their community’s dead from the conflict with a Nagar Kirtan ceremony through the streets of Gosforth and Fawdon.
It was only the second time that the local temple has held the festival and followed the success of a previous celebration in November last year.
Harpal Singh, of the Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji temple at Edgefield Avenue, Gosforth, said the event was a success. He said:
We wanted to remember the Sikhs who gave their lives in fighting for our British Army in World War I.
It was a very colourful ceremony where we took our scriptures around the neighbourhood singing devotional hymns.
