Asians celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Do Asians have a duty to feel grateful to the Her Majesty The Queen? We are at the mall and speaking to people involved in street parties and other celebrations.

At 1, Do Asians have a duty to show their gratitude towards the Queen?

As we speak, Her Majesty and all the royals are tucking into to a roast lamb dinner at Westminster Hall with her family. This morning though there was a national service of thanksgiving at St Paul's and we were wondering are you grateful for the Queen?

During the last sixty years, either you or your family will have come to this country and you have prospered under her reign. So do you think British Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists have a duty to celebrate and give thanks for what's she given you? Do prospering Asian community have the Queen to thank for their success? Or do you feel that the celebrations have been blown out of proportion?

Later on, Artist Sadia Ur-Rehman will pop in to the studio and talk to Nihal about her tea drinking project at the Maritime Museum in London and he'll also speak to a 76 year old Shantilal Popat who has organised a party for his community in West London. And Nihal will also speak to Councillor Pritam Grewal about his experience lighting a beacon last night.
