A very well-attended celebration at the Town Hall this afternoon, to mark Eid-ul-Adha, which marks Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son for God.
I was honoured to meet and talk to a large number of Muslim residents from around Lambeth and beyond.
My name was kindly written out for me in Arabic script, a fascinating memento that I will treasure, though it’s slightly too complicated to use as a signature.
It was a good day, and a good opportunity for Lambeth’s Muslim community to come together in Lambeth’s Assembly Hall to show the wider community a part of what it means to be a Muslim in modern Britain.
