Eid Al-Fitr 2016: Sadiq Khan wishes Eid Mubarak to London's Muslims

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has released a personal message to Muslims in London and around the world celebrating Eid today.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Eid, Mr Khan said that he was proud to have had the opportunity to bring together communities across the capital.

Many Muslims in the UK celebrate Eid as the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan.

Mr Khan was joined by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mervis at Lambeth Palace to break their fast on June 28.

Mr Khan said: "London's greatest strength is our diversity and the way we don't just tolerate, but respect and celebrate our different traditions and backgrounds.

"Now more than ever, it is important that we come together and stand against anyone who wants to divide us."
