“There has been a great turn out from the Bangladeshi community and it was nice to see our community taking part in the celebration.

“The food and fun activities made the afternoon tremendous.”

Eid is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and the start of the next month, Shawwal.

The largest Eid celebration in Europe took place at Birmingham last Sunday when more than 100,000 people took part in a day of celebration. During Ramadan this year, worshippers raised £435,000 in a single night for international humanitarian aid charity Human Appeal.
