Road closures planned for Sikh procession
BBCRoad closures will be in place across Leicester as thousands of Sikhs mark Vaisakhi on Sunday.
About 10,000 people are set to take part in the Nagar Kirtan procession, which will start at the Guru Nanak Gurdwara, on Holy Bones, at 11:30 BST.
Vaisakhi, celebrated earlier in the month, marks the founding of the Sikh community, known as Khalsa, in 1699.
Leicester City Council said rolling road closures would be in place along the procession route and St Nicholas Circle would shut for about three hours.
The procession will pass through Vaughan Way Slip Road, St Nicholas Circle, Southgates, Friar Lane, Berridge Street, Millstone Lane, Bowling Green Street, Bishop Street, part of Granby Street, Gallowtree and High Street before returning to Holy Bones.
Signposted diversions will be in place and Southgates underpass will remain open to traffic, the council said.
Bus operators will also make "any necessary adjustments" as the procession passes along the route, the authority added.
