How would you feel if your widowed parent remarried?

With International Widow's Day imminent, Nihal asks how listeners would feel if a widowed parent remarried.

How would you feel if your widowed parent remarried? We're asking this as it's international widow's day on the weekend. After that Nihal hears from Jeewan Sagu and Gurpreet Sidhu, who came up with a business plan after graduating from university but ended up in a 14-year legal battle with the owner of EasyJet. After winning the case they ended up becoming businesses partners with the man who took them to court - millionaire Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou. Then we have our weekly sport chat with Ankur Desai. Sport journalist Vivek Choudhry, Sandeep Kaur Tak of Tottenham Hotspur Ladies and cricketer Tameena Hussain join Nihal to talk about the world cup and the recording breaking scores made by the men's and women's international cricket teams. And we hear from Mahnoor Syed and Trisha Shetty who are part of the Queen's Young Leaders programme which celebrates outstanding young people from across the Commonwealth who have made a significant difference to people's lives in their communities.
