He was accompanied by his friend Jim Winkworth, who he met during his time helping out in Burrowbridge, Somerset, during the flooding there. Jim had tricked Ravi into appearing on ITV’s Surprise Surprise just days before.

On his Facebook page, Mr Singh wrote of the symbolism of his friendship with Mr Winkworth:

“The journey for myself and Jim Winkworth began during the floods relief in Somerset earlier this year and has now taken Jim to the most beautiful and spiritual place in the Sikh world.

In a world full of hate the UK Sikh community and the Somerset community have become a beacon of hope and friendship

“I hope this relationship will strengthen to serve humanity all over the world.”

The announcement of Ravi’s award on Facebook has already been ‘liked’ by over 6,000.

Its a good job Roy Hodgson wasn't allowed to vote. There's no doubt he would have voted for Javier Mascherano as Sikh of the Year. But seriously, what a truly deserving winner we have in Ravinder Singh. Really well deserved.
