Last month, British Tamils participated in various sports events organised by the Tamil Coordinating Committee (TCC). The sports competitions commenced following tribute to the fallen freedom fighters and the hoisting of the Tamil National Flag.
TCC’s Head of Sports Department, Mr Koothai, raised the Tamil Eelam National Flag, whilst Head of Youth Coordinating Committee, Ms Barbara Rajan, was seen hoisting the British flag.
The event was overseen by Metropolitan police officers, some of whom were seen engaging with the Mehndi stall.
Winners of the football, cricket and other games were awarded with trophies and presents. Siobhain McDonagh, Member of Parliament for Mitcham and Morden, attended the event and presented trophies.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
