Gravesend’s Vaisahki 2024 was the usual mix of good humour, great food and riotous colours. The Sikh community hosts a wonderful celebration on the streets of Gravesend, to which all are welcome, of any faith or none. I met some lovely people, had a great time and will definitely be back next year. Here are a few shots from the weekend.

Happy Vaisahki!
