Photos: thousands join Bristol’s Grand Iftar Ramadan celebration
In a powerful display of unity, three thousand people of different and no faiths celebrated the breaking of the fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Thousands of people flocked to St Marks Road in Easton on Thursday night to celebrate the breaking of the fast during Ramadan. In an incredible feat of community organising, volunteers distributed thousands of food parcels, dates, fruit and drinks to people who lined the street.
Messages of unity and diversity resounded throughout the night from the many speakers and attendees.
Here is a selection of photos by photographer Norberto Fernandez Soriano:

Hi there folks at The Cable, would it be possible to use one of your photos of the St Marks Road Grand Iftar celebration in Bristol’s submission of evidence for a Gold Sustainable Food City award? The photographer would of course be credited, and The Cable too if required. We need to source a photo by middle of next week, so fairly urgent. I look forward to hearing from someone asap. Many thanks!
