Joanna Lumley’s Nepal visit
27.07.09
Actress Joanna Lumley hands over a gift to Nepalese prime minister Madhav Kumar during a visit to Kathmandu.
Lumley, 63, is on her first visit to Nepal after her successful campaign to let the country's Gurkhas settle in Britain.
Her high-profile protest forced Gordon Brown into a U-turn over his initial refusal to allow soldiers and their families the right to live here. Lumley is also due to be honoured by the Gurkha regiment while she is in the country.
