Hundreds of Sikhs from across the UK came together on 11 November in London on Remembrance Day to recall Sikh sacrifices in the First World War and mark the 20th anniversary of the massacre of up to 20,000 innocent Sikhs in anti-Sikh pogroms in Delhi and cities throughout India in November 1984. It was also an opportunity to welcome Sikh children from France and hear their passionate appeal for help from British Sikhs and UK Parliamentarians to challenge an unjust law in France. The day began with Amrik Singh, the Chair of the Sikh Federation (UK), the first and only Sikh political party in the UK, joining a representative from each of the three main political parties to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph to commemorate Sikh sacrifices. The wreath of poppies had a large Khanda at the centre and the words "We will never forget Sikh sacrifices" and "Never forget 84". Thousands, including hundreds of war veterans, watched Amrik Singh being accompanied by Ivor Caplin the Labour Minister for War Veterans at the Ministry of Defence, Lord Strathclyde the Conservative Leader in the House of Lords and Paul Keetch MP, Liberal Democrat Defence spokesman. Sikh participation was greatly appreciated at the remembrance event and this was formally acknowledged by Bruce Simpson the Chairman of the Western Front Association that organise the event to take place on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month that officially marks the end of the First World War.
