India Pakistan Border Closing Ceremony Video

Join Michael Palin on this 5 minute peek into the over-the-top border closing ceremony held daily at Wagah - between India's Amristsar and Pakistan's Lahore.

Marvel at the python-esque marching of the border guards, oooooooohhhhhhh at their fanciful headwear and ahhhhhhhhhh as the gate slams shut amidst the type of hysteria usually reserved for boy bands.
