All Nations on Stage |

All Nations represented |
Today there was a special Heart4Harlow event in the Park. Brought together by charismatic Town Chaplain Robert Findlay, faith communities across Harlow came together to create a special afternoon of music, prayer and a celebration of the Olympics.
Former Paralympian
Ann Wafula Strike made a speech as to what Harlow meant to her.
Olympian Torch Bearer Mike Jackson, also took to the stage.
There were many different community groups from
Street Pastors to
Streets2Homes who set up stalls. Plenty of
food was available for everyone.
I was asked to introduce the flag bearers march and dance around the park. As you can see, Vanda carried a Brazilian Flag. Harlow TUC represented the North Koreans and Cubans. Others took flags from countries either from which they came from, or had special meaning.
