The festive season is a time for celebration, joy and spending time with loved ones.
It is also a time for reflection, and keeping in our thoughts those who may find this time of year difficult or lonely, and those who are sacrificing their Christmas to look after others.
However this period may look for you, I’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and the very best as we move into 2025🎄
Happy Diwali to all those celebrating across the UK and around the world.
Akshata and I were delighted to mark it with @ShivaniRaja_LE tonight in Leicester - home of the largest Diwali celebrations outside of India.
