As his coronation nears, how do communities here feel about the new King? The image of King Charles III sitting on the floor of a gurdwara in Luton was a seminal moment for British Sikhs. The King removed his shoes and donned a Ramaal headscarf to join members of the congregation during prayers. It was, according to Prof Gurch Randhawa who showed him around, a "huge surprise". IMAGE SOURCE,KATE BRADBROOK/BBC Image caption, Gurch Randhawa said the King proved he was sympathetic to other faiths with the gesture "The ethos of the visit was about communities supporting communities," Prof Randwara says. "That image of him sitting on the floor truly went viral amongst Sikhs and other faiths because they could see that here is a future King who is really keen to be sympathetic to all faiths and all communities. "His Majesty the King clearly has chosen to be very visible in recognising and respecting the rituals related to particular faiths." Prof Randhawa recalls King Charles as "very inquisitive" and found time to speak to hundreds of people who turned up to see him during his visit on 6 December. "Luton is a hub of community cohesion - it's renowned for communities pulling together," he adds. "I'm hoping he will be as incredibly respectful of the diversity of the British population and he will want to ensure that all communities thrive and prosper for the future. "I'm really optimistic."

"I was very surprised and pleased to see him, he was very interested in everything," she says. Ms Kaur was not able to travel to London to see the coronation but was "happy to see him on the telly".

"I volunteer here every day after work," he says. "I was volunteering here when the King visited and was in the queue to see him. He's such a great man and he shook my hand. "He's really humble and really witty as well, he respects everyone. "I think he will be King of everyone. King of all. "He is going to follow in the footsteps of our Queen and I feel it is going to be a smooth transition."

The centre provides support and activities for communities of all ages. Ms Abdool-Sathar says there is a "concerted effort" to replicate the success of the jubilee celebrations last year, with a "feel good factor in the air". "It's a moment in history and, more than anything, people are feeling that they want to be part of that history," she says. "People see this as an event, a celebration, a family day out, with the end of Ramadan and fasting as well."

"These are key things that people really remember," she says. "The diaspora around here would welcome him [King Charles]. By embracing and visiting other faiths, there is a lot of respect for him. "For us, the coronation will reflect the monarch's ever-changing role in today's society, and the way it will be reflected in beliefs, in the hopes and traditions and spiritualty of the moment itself. "Luton is quite a deprived area - there are lots of people who have struggled hard to raise their families. "But at the same time this will give them a sense of belonging - that will be a celebration in itself."

It's the most prominent irish battle rebel song about our hero Grace O'Malley Upon her father's death, she took over active leadership of the lordship by land and sea, despite having a brother, Dónal an Phíopa Ó Máille. Marriage to Dónal an Chogaidh (Donal "of the war") Ó Flaithbheartaigh brought her greater wealth and influence, reportedly owning as much as 1,000 head of cattle and horses. In 1593, when her sons Tibbot Bourke and Murchadh Ó Flaithbheartaigh (Murrough O'Flaherty) and her half-brother Dónal an Phíopa ("Donal of the Pipes") were taken captive by the English governor of Connacht, Sir Richard Bingham, O'Malley sailed to England to petition for their release. She formally presented her request to Queen Elizabeth I at her court in Greenwich Palace. O'Malley is not mentioned in the Irish annals, so documentary evidence for her life comes mostly from English sources, especially the eighteen "Articles of Interrogatory", questions put to her in writing on behalf of Elizabeth I.[2] She is mentioned in the English State Papers and in other documents of the kind, as well.[3] In Irish folklore she is commonly known as Gráinne Mhaol (anglicised as Granuaile) and is a well-known historical figure in sixteenth-century Irish history. Her name also was rendered in contemporaneous English documents in various ways, including Gráinne O'Maly, Graney O'Mally, Granny ni Maille, Grany O'Mally, Grayn Ny Mayle, Grane ne Male, Grainy O'Maly, and Granee O'Maillie,[4] rarely as Grace O'Malley.[5] In popular culture, she is often referred to as "The Pirate Queen English translation of Padraig Pearse Version Chorus Oh-ro You are welcome home, Oh-ro You are welcome home, Oh-ro You are welcome home, Now that summer’s coming! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome lady who faced such troubles Your capture brought us to our ruin With our fine land usurped by thieves And you sold to the foreigners! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gráinne O’Malley comes over the sea, With armed warriors as her guard They’re Irishmen – not French nor Spanish And they will rout the foreigners! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May it please dear God that we might see, Even if we only live for week after, Gráinne Mhaol and a thousand warriors – Routing all the foreigners! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
