Councillor David Over

"important celebration. We recognise the contribution to the city by people from a variety of cultures and appreciate that each culture has its own important dates in the calendar and I am always interested to learn about them. They also help to make the year more interesting for everyone. Cultural and religious influences have touched many people in Peterborough and the festival of Diwali gives light at a dark time of the year. I am looking forward to the spring and to Holi being celebrated in the city"

High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire 2014/15
Linda Fairbrother

"It was a wonderful display of the different Hindu communities and to see so many happy people, with their different styles of dancing and costume, celebrating heart and soul, was a delight. I enjoyed it so much and was sorry I couldn't stay longer.
Alas, no equivalent festival in Cambridge!"
