Diwali in Trafalagar Square
Diwali in Trafalagar Square
What a wonderful day at Diwali in Trafalgar Square! Huge thanks to all the scroll carriers who represented their areas from Kew to Southend and to Jane Ford for choreographing the procession. The sun shone on the huge crowd and the scrolls looked amazing against the backdrop of heritage buildings accompanied by colourful dancers from the Sai School of Dance and drummers from the London School of Dhol.
