“We’ve been working for months with five local Mosques and our charity partner Human Appeal to organize the community for a memorable day of prayer, games and fun.”

The Celebrate `Eid event, hosted by Green Lane Masjid and Community Center, is now in its seventh year and has seen growing numbers since its first major event in 2012, where 12,000 people attended

Organizers said over 106,000 people attended this year’s event – more than the capacity of Barcelona FC’s Nou Camp stadium.

Armed officers and extra patrols were on patrol after the series of terror attacks in Manchester and London, most recently near Finsbury Park Mosque.

Amer Ijaz, one of the event’s organizers, said they were “happy that they are here to reassure us”.
