The past is always alive… if it is remembered.

Knowledge has life, and power, as long as it is saved from human forgetfulness.

We have great respect for the Sikhs what a wonderful culture, people so much we can all learn from them. I wish I had know it was on, I would have been there. Bole So Nihal; Sat Sri Akal; Wahiguru ji ka Khalsa; Wahiguru ji ki Fateh!

Part II of the guided tours that took place yesterday, as part of the VaisakhiLDN event at Trafalgar Square.

These slides are prepared as I start to think on the resources, skills, and time needed to develop a snappy documentary-style video specifically for the event.

We are surrounded by so many stories from our history in and around Trafalgar Square, much of it in plain sight, but the challenge remains how to share these hidden histories more widely.

Thanks for your tireless efforts Rav Singh in sharing this history. Look forward to a summer of walking on some of your tours.

Thank you to those who joined us for guided tours around the Square yesterday as part of the #VaisakhiLDN event. We just about managed to get three small groups together for each of the start times, either via the podcast session, a timely stage announcement or via those visitors to the Square who read the Board in the corner of the Square.

However today social media has been busy with those reaching out saying they missed it (with all the other events happening simultaneously), were not aware of the tours, or turned up a little late (after we had set off). Reflecting and recovering from 18,000 steps yesterday, I've spent time today mapping out the little histories we shared for those who missed out or are just interested! (Please swipe through).

I think for such a large-scale event, it will be wiser to develop a snappy documentary-style video, as we are surrounded by so many stories from our history in and around Trafalgar Square, much of it in plain sight. This seed has been planted, now to see if our team can make this happen by this time next year!
