gHU is celebrating the 5th anniversary since opening the Centre in May 2010

II Jai Shree Krishna IIThe celebrations for our 5th Anniversary this year is going in full swing. It is amazing that fi ve wonderful years have gone past since we built our dream and wonderful Sanatan Mandir and Community Centre, Apple Tree Centre!We are delighted to announce that His Highness Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester will visit our Centre on 14th October at 2 p.m. The Duke is a fi rst cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, and 2nd son of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, who was the third eldest son of George V, and Princess Alice. At the time of his birth he was 5th in line to the throne. You are all invited to welcome His Highness to our Centre on the day. We dedicated 2015 as Hindu Heritage Events project. We received good support from Crawley Borough Council, West Sussex County Council and Heritage Lottery Fund to organise:-

1) A Community Dance and Drama Show as part of the Diwali show on 8 November 2015 at the Hawth Theatre. (see separate poster on this).2) We have documented the oral history of six members of our community. This involved recording and documenting their entire life experience from leaving their homeland, settling in Crawley and joys of being a member and keen supporter of GHU. 3) Additionally we have begun recording and documenting the design and architectural features of outside and inside of our Mandir consisting of the ornate and magnifi cent features.

Our ambition is to produce a booklet that will document the above.Also our ambition is to continue the Hindu Heritage theme every year.If you do wish to help and support or indeed wish to get involved then please get in touch with Ashwin Soni 07833252551

Title: Prince Richard, Duke of GloucesterFull Name: Richard Alexander Walter GeorgeRelation to Elizabeth II: CousinMarried: Birgitte van Deurs, daughter of Asger Henriksen and Vivian van Deurs of Denmark, on July 8, 1972Children: Alexander (Earl of Ulster), Davina (Lady Davine Lewis) and Rose (Lady Rose Gilman)

The Duke is a fi rst cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, and 2nd son of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, who was the third eldest son of George V, and Princess Alice. At the time of his birth he was 5th in line to the throne.

He attended Eton College and Cambridge University and planned a career in architecture until the death of his elder brother in a plane crash in 1972, and his father in 1974 when he inherited the Dukedom and an increase in his obligations for royal duties.

In 1972 he married Brigitte Eva van Deurs, daughter of a Danish lawyer. They had three children, Alexander, Earl of Ulster, born in 1974, Lady Davina Windsor born in 1977, and Lady Rose Windsor born in 1980. The Duke and Duchess carry out public duties on behalf of the royal family and are patrons of many societies and organisations. None of their children undertake offi cial duties.

The Duke maintains an interest in architecture and is a commissioner for English Heritage. He is the most senior male descendant of Queen Victoria.
