Hundreds of Maltese living in the United Kingdom greeted President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca during Malta Day-UK activities, organised by the Maltese Community in London.
After addressing the congregation gathered for Mass, concelebrated by Cardinal Prospero Grech at the Westminster Cathedral, President Coleiro Preca praised the enthusiasm of the Maltese and invited the community to visit Malta for activities for families with children at the President’s palaces.
She expressed her appreciation that not only did the Maltese in the UK not forget Malta, they kept on organising activities to promote Malta and its rich culture.
Some members of the community have been living in the UK for more than 50 years. The Maltese community in the UK numbers some 80,000.
