programme of activities on Trafalgar Square:


OPENING CEREMONY

At 1pm a 10-piece marching band from Asian British Music ('ABM') will perform
the Sikh anthem 'Deh Shiva Bar Mohe Hai'.


LANGAR DEMONSTRATIONS

GATKA PERFORMANCES

Gatka is the name of an Indian martial art associated with the Sikhs of the
Punjab region. It is a style of stick fighting, with wooden sticks intended to

   notice).
