Thousands of Sikhs are to parade in colourful floats to celebrate their new year and the founding of the religion’s brotherhood – the Khalsa.

This year’s procession, which will wind through several streets on Sunday, will be based on the Sikh values of honouring family and community.

To tie in with this, the event will include, for the first time, a float from the local temple’s youth football team – featuring more than 100 youngsters.
