Guests have been encouraged to wear white as a symbol of unity, peace and community strength.

Jacob said the carnival has grown over three years into an important gathering for Africans and other communities in London.
He said Pasuma and the other entertainers would help create a cultural experience centred on shared heritage and unity.
Admission is open to members of the public.
The event comes as Nigerian music and culture continue to gain visibility across major cities outside Africa. Meanwhile, London remains one of the strongest international markets for Nigerian entertainers.
Pasuma is one of Nigeria’s most prominent Fuji musicians. He has built a career spanning several decades and maintains a significant following within the Nigerian diaspora.
