Thank you to everyone who joined us for a spectacular Diwali celebration at the weekend, it was a moment to remember! Hundreds of people took part in our riverside lantern parade, led by the Mayor of Greenwich, Cllr. Jit Ranabhat, lighting up the Peninsula like never before. With beautiful lanterns crafted by the children from our local schools, residents, families and Firepit Art Gallery & Studios CIC artist in residence Pragya Kumar, Nicola Reid and their teams, the parade was the perfect way to end the celebrations in style. Thank you to Barrie Kelly, Ann-Marie Cousins, Su Whiting, Linda Drew and Edward Simmons for joining us too. This year’s celebration is part-funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund #UKSPF and supported by the Mayor of London, Royal Borough of Greenwich and Visit Greenwich. Looking forward to next year already.
