Libyan Eid in London

Today the Libyans in London held their usual Eid party at the London Regents Park Mosque, the party was organised and sponsored by Takaful Trust Association, I took the kids with me and we arrived about 6:30, the first thing I noticed that there was not a lot of people, usually many more turn up for the Eid parties.

The Trusts banner which has seen better days, today it looked like it had been chewed by a cow :o)


yes that is me (the slim one in case you are wondering)

Amir

Aida

Bouncy Amir



A lot of savoury pastries and sweets were served and the kids were provided with drinks, crisps and sweets too, Takaful Trust as usual did their best to provide a festive atmosphere for adults and children, even though not many attended but still it was nice to meet up with so many friends that I have not seen for a while and all kids had a great time.
