“I want to send my very best wishes to Muslims at home and around the world celebrating Eid. Eid Mubarak.” – Prime Minister David Cameron.
Communities Secretary Greg Clark also wishes Muslims across the country a happy Eid.
Mr 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.”
