A mosque held a special iftar to celebrate the work of the emergency services.

Preston based Quwwatul Islam Mosque invited members of the Police, Fire Service and Ambulance Service to the mosque as worshippers opened their fast.

The mosques said, “It was an honour & privilege for our community to host reps from @LancsPolice @LancashireFRS @NWAmbulance @LancsHospitals thanks for all the amazing work you do.”
