Indian-origin peers representing the Hindu and Sikh faiths will be joined by Muslim and Jewish House of Lords representatives in carrying key pieces of Coronation emblems to add a multi-faith touch to the Christian religious ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6.

    Lord Narendra Babubhai Patel, 84, will represent the Hindu faith and is expected to carry the sovereign’s ring on the day of the Coronation. Lord Indrajit Singh, 90, will represent the Sikh faith and is expected to carry the coronation glove. Lord Kamall, 56, a London-born Muslim peer, is expected to carry the armills or a pair of bracelets and Baroness Gillian Merron, 64, will represent the Jewish faith and is expected to carry one of the coronation robes.
