Where did you see the Queen?Shree Lakshmani Narayan Mandir Bradford

What year did you see the Queen?2007

Please tell us your memories of the Queen and your thoughts at this sad timeThe Hindu community in Bradford was privileged that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth opened the Shree Lakshmi Narayan Mandir. It was an honour for late Mr Achhar Paul Dharni ( 1941 to 2013 ) to receive Her Majesty as the Chairman of the Temple on behalf of the Bradfords Hindu community. I was very proud of my late father that he made this possible for the Hindu community to see her Majesty. A proud day for me to be there and a proud day for my late father.

Please send a photo if you met or saw the Queen
