The largest Eid celebration in Europe took place in a UK park today with over 140,000 Muslims gathering to mark the end of Ramadan.
Record numbers of Islamic worshippers from across the globe flocked to Small Heath Park, in Birmingham, following the religious month of dawn to dusk fasting.
Organisers said over 140,000 people attended the event – almost twice the capacity of Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium which will host the World Cup final next month.
Families – some who had travelled from as far as the USA – got to their knees in unison for morning prayers at 9am for the ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast’.
They then descended on the numerous food stalls and activities available – which included fairground rides, miniature golf and laser clay pigeon shooting.

The event, hosted by Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre, is now in its seventh year and has seen growing numbers since 2012, where 12,000 people attended.
On the 27th night of Ramadan, the mosque raised over £400,000 for the Saving Syria Project and £1 million across the entire month of Ramadan.
A spokesperson for Green Lane Masjid & Community Centre, said: ‘This celebration is one of the most important in the Islamic religious calendar and it’s an opportunity for us all to come together in peace and unity.

You're enjoying freedom of worship in other people's country but you imprisoned millions of Christians and people of other religions in your Islamic countries.
