'It helps strengthen relationship bonds' - Thousands celebrate Eid al-Adha with prayers in Platt Fields Park

More than 20,000 people gathered for Eid In The Park at Platt Fields to celebrate the muslim holiday.

Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of the Sacrifice, is the second biggest Muslim celebration in the Islamic calendar following Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of fasting during Ramadan.

Mosques across the city hosted special Eid prayers throughout the day, and Platt Fields Park, in Fallowfield, is believed to be the biggest outdoor Eid in the North this year.
