Thousands of British Sikhs have marched in central London to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 1984 Amritsar massacre.

The Sikh community showed up in their masses for an issue that is of huge significance to their community.

The Indian government has in the past said that the operation was carried out against militants and not the Sikh community.

In 2014, declassified documents released under the 30-year rule revealed that the British government at the time sent an SAS officer to help guide the Indian government with the attack.

The secret documents also suggested that the then prime minister Margaret Thatcher knew the SAS was advising the Indian government.
