Queen Visits Sikh Temple

By Peter Archer, Court Correspondent, PA News

The Queen will today visit a Sikh temple and give the royal seal of approval to a £2.5-million expansion plan.

Accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, she will view an exhibition at the Hounslow temple in west London to mark the 400th anniversary of Sikh scriptures.

Like other visitors to the temple, who have included the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Queen and the Duke will remove their shoes and cover their heads.

On arrival they will be presented with garlands as VIP visitors and enter the temple’s prayer hall.

Sikh war veterans, as well as temple elders, will meet the royal couple before the Queen unveils a plaque to open phase two of the proposed development at the temple.

The existing building was built in 1992 after the Hounslow Sikh congregation acquired land where initially they used a scout hut as a temporary place of worship.

The Queen and Duke visited the Sikh Golden Temple at Amritsar, during a tour of India in 1997.

In 2000, during her UK Golden Jubilee tour, the Queen also visited the Sikh temple at Leicester.

Well the excuse the SGPC gave for the special treatment the Queen got was that she was treated as the Head of Church of England and thats why she was allowed to wear socks etc. Very feeble excuse but then again the SGPC is a feeble group.

Shame they recetly ignored the Dalai Lama and did not follow the precedent they set by giving the Queen special treatment.
