Children in charge of Holland Park Sikh temple

A Sikh temple in London is handing control over to children for one day a month. Catrin Nye reports.
A Sikh Gurdwara in west London has put children at the heart of its running for one day a month.
The idea came from parents who wanted their children to have a bigger role in their place of worship.
The Gurdwara Khalsa Jatha in Holland Park was established in 1908 making it the oldest Sikh place of worship in the UK.
