Peruvians living in England celebrated Inti Raymi

London, Jun. 22 (ANDINA).- The Peruvian community in England celebrated the traditional Inti Raymi or Festival of the Sun in the famous Stonehenge where many Peruvians gathered to welcome the sunrise on the Summer Solstice. John Loayza, an expat born in the Andean city of Abancay, dressed up as an Inca and led the celebrations of the millennial festival, while the attendees wore chullos (a Peruvian style of hat made from vicuña, alpaca, llama or sheep's wool) and other garments with Andean designs.

London’s oldest carnival took place near the stadium of football team Tottenham. During the event, a group of Peruvians staged a short play about Peru's history and performed traditional dances wearing beautiful costumes.
The event, which was attended by Peruvian consul in London July Garro, was organized by the UK-Peruvian association, the Pedro Achat Trust Peruvian foundation and the Minka publication .
