The Elected Mayor of Watford Peter Taylor was among a host of guests joined together for a cross-cultural celebration this week.

St Michael & All Angels Church and Littlebury Hall in Watford played host to the annual festival of cultures, faiths, food and talents at the multi-cultural community centre on May 6.

The yearly event brings together various communities in the town to share and celebrate in an afternoon of music, international cuisine and entertainments.
