King Charles is of course caught up in making preparations for his Coronation on May 6th, but meanwhile he’s been travelling tirelessly around the country in company with the Queen Consort, really putting down the markers of his new reign. He’s wasting no time in getting to work in his new role...
On February 8th, the King and Queen Consort were welcomed by thousands of people from the British Bangladeshi community, as well as those who were involved in the anti-racism movement of the 1970s, on a historic visit to Brick Lane.
Brick Lane is at the heart of the East End and is one of London’s most iconic streets. Historically it’s been home to French Huguenot and Jewish immigrants, and now it’s a centre for the Bangladeshi community. Along with its rich heritage, Brick Lane is known for its food, and the famous selection of curry restaurants.
The short stretch of Bangladeshi restaurants at the southern end of Brick Lane is known as Banglatown, home to many annual street festivals including the Boishakhi Mela, the Brick Lane Festival and the Curry Festival. King Charles and Camilla shook hands and chatted to well-wishers on a walkabout of Bangla Town in celebration of the contribution of Bangladeshis to the life of the nation.
At Altab Ali Park, Their Majesties met individuals who were actively involved in the anti-racism movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The King and the Queen Consort also spoke to young people who have worked on projects related to anti-racism, the preservation of Bangla language and representatives of the Altab Ali Foundation.
