INTERFAITH Week was marked by Unity in the Community this week.

Staged at the 3D Centre in Bolton, people from different generations enjoyed an afternoon celebrating different religious festivals — Eid Diwali and Advent.

The festivities were led by local school children in the event organised by the Asian Elders Centre.
