Communities Secretary Greg Clark said:

As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end I would like to wish Muslims across the country a happy Eid.

In the last month, mosques have opened their doors and invited people of the Muslim faith, of other faiths and of none to attend iftars, to enjoy a fast-breaking meal and learn more about what Ramadan means.

This is particularly important at a time when we must all look to come together to combat the prejudices that can blight our communities.

So I want to take this opportunity to wish Eid Mubarak to everyone marking this special occasion.
