Millions of Muslims around the world celebrated Eid al-Fitr, one of the biggest holidays on the Islamic calendar, on Sunday and Monday.
Eid al-Fitr — which translates to “festival of the breaking of the fast” — marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, spiritual reflection and prayer.
In the UK, Muslims in cities including Bradford and Manchester gathered in public parks to mark the end of Ramadan and the Royal Family issued a message to Muslims.
