Dance
performers and thousands of revellers celebrated the Diwali Festival of Lights
in Trafalgar Square on Sunday. They were joined by London mayor Sadiq Khan, who
lit a ceremonial candle during the opening of the festival that heralds new
beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. The
five-day celebration is observed by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains in India and many
other countries around the world. Sadiq Khan, a prominent London Labour
politician, described the atmosphere in the Square as 'fantastic” and said it
was “great to see Londoners from all walks of life celebrating together.”
