Thousands take part in Bristol's Grand Iftar

Organisers say more than 6,000 people attended this year's Grand Iftar in Bristol.

Iftar is the name given for the meal eaten after sunset during Ramadan.

Ramadan is the holy month in the Muslim calendar where Muslims will not eat, or drink from dawn till dusk.

It's the third year of the event which was first held as a direct response to the Manchester arena attacks in 2017.

Organisers of the Grand Iftar wanted to share their food with other communities in the city and spread a wider understanding of Islam.
