Young boy bidding farewell to relatives prior to the departure of the Manchester flight from Islamabad airport. One of the early migrants to Britain, who has retired to Mirpur, expressed his views on the future thus: "Old people come over and build houses with the hope that their children will return and settle in Mirpur. But my own experience is that they are wrong. When their children are born in Bradford or Birmingham, they belong to that land. The parents want them to come back but the children say 'No, England is my country, I can't stay here. You were born here, you stay here, but I am going.' So there is a disparity of hopes and feelings between parents and children, it is a big problem over here."
