Over 2,000 people joined in and celebrated the Dalai Lama's 75th birthday in London

The event commenced to the deep growling of long Tibetan horns signalling the start of a traditional procession with two Tashi Lhunpo monks carrying a portrait of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, accompanied by the Representative of the Dalai Lama in London, Thubten Samdup, the Chairman of the Tibetan Community in Britain, Pempa Lobsang and one of the two Tibetan MPs for Europe, Sonam Frasi. Once on stage the Dalai Lama’s portrait was placed on a special alter, butter lamps lit and prayers for His Holiness’s long life were chanted.
