Nagar Kirtan, one of the major events in the Leicester Sikh community's calendar, was held on Sunday between 11:30 and 15:00 GMT.

The route saw the procession walk from Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara in East Park Road to Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Holy Bones.

Rolling road closures and diversions had been put in place for the event, which marks the birthday of the founder of the Sikh faith.

The procession took more than three hours to complete
