    The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, led the Chanukah celebrations in Trafalgar Square.
    Thousands of people braved the cold weather to light Europe’s largest menorah in Trafalgar square. The menorah will remain in the square until the end of the celebration of the festival.
     
    This key event in London’s winter festivities was organised by the Jewish Leadership Council, the London Jewish Forum, Chabad-Lubavitch UK, and supported by the Mayor of London.
     
    The Mayor of London, along with the Chief Rabbi and Ambassador Daniel Taub handed chocolate gold coins to children, whilst the crowds were given doughnuts.
