Kirpan - Vaisakhi Festival
A baptised Sikh is required to carry a sword or dagger known as a Kirpan, more of a religious symbol than a weapon.

Vaisakhi Festival - Bradford
A parade was held today as part of the annual Vaisakhi celebrations. A procession of several thousand people visits each of the six Gurdwaras or Sikh temples in the Bradford area. At each temple the procession stops and the participants are offered food and drink. The picture shows the head of the procession in Wakefield Road approaching the Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Bradford International Film Festival
Well, it's the last day of the Bradford Film Festival and not one picture of the event. To be honest, I've never really been that interested in film, unlike my father who saw 'The Great Caruso' forty seven times when it first came out. Probably the only two actors I could easily recognise would be Sean Connery or Michael Caine. The picture above is of the bonnet of the BMW car used to ferry VIPs to and from the Film Festival. It was parked outside of the Media Museum, so there must have been some film celebrity in there, but I don't know who, and I probably wouldn't recognise them anyway, unless it was Michael Caine or Sean Connery.
