Muslims at a mosque in Oxford have joined thousands of others around the UK in celebrating Eid.
Eid al-Fitr, which means the festival of sweets, marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long period of fasting and prayer for Muslims, and was celebrated at Central Oxford Mosque.
Those celebrating the festival follow the example set by Prophet Mohammed thousands of years ago.
Those in attendance washed, wore new clothes, recited prayers on their way to the mosque, and ate dates.
Attendees travelled to the mosque in one direction and left via another.
Those who could afford to paid Fitrana before Eid prayers, ensuring those less fortunate could also take part in the celebrations.
People at Central Oxford Mosque joined thousands of others across the country in celebrating the festival.
