Ladies and gentleman boys and girls welcome to London welcome to Trafalgar Square today
we are celebrating Eid in London check it out Ramadan ended last week so this week the
Eid festival here in Trafalgar Square free festival obviously with Muslims being having
been fasting from Sun rise to sun set for a month there is plenty of food here its the
holiest month in Islam a time for fasting a time for extremists to go extreme a couple
of attacks here in London one in London Bridge one in Finsbury Park but today is a day to
celebrate I got some Falafels and salad in a wrap the catering at these things is not
the best I've got to be honest the same lady sold me falafels that sold me Poutine here
yesterday and that wasn't that great either but yeah the smell is incredible the smell
of barbecue is phenomenal OK this is live so the normal disclaimer might be a little
bit shaky might drop out in places that is the price of live but you do get to see behind
the scenes of some of my other videos I've been here filming for another video today
check out the queues for food yeah so for any of my viewers who are Muslim Eid Mubarak
although judging by the comments section I think there is more Islamophobia than Islamist's
on YouTube in general the Mayor has already been on stage doing his bit made his speech
and now we've got music pretty cool huh its this is not the Islam the main stream media
want you to see a chilled out event in central London right its not Eid today Ramadan ended
last week its just Eid festival today here in London there is a stage here it will be
here for a lot of the summer there was an event here yesterday Canada Day was actually
yesterday so it coincided necely there is opera here later in the week I think the Royal
opera maybe the Royal ballet as well at least the Royal opera I havn't really looked into
it but the Royal Opera will be on stage over the next few days so you can come and check
out opera but yeah today its a day for the Muslim community here in London to come and
celebrate Eid although after a month of fasting they haven't waited trust me but yeah the
music was pretty cool quite a chilled atmosphere today the food was OK as OK as mass catering
does the queue for the curries over there is pretty long the longest I might get a coconut
in a minute coconut water its a really nice warm day for it here plenty of people enjoying
the sun in front of the National gallery here lets see who takes to the stage next it looks
like they are setting up more musical instruments looks like what are those drums called tablas
sure fire way to get a copyright strike music I prefer it when they do the speeches not
so many people here as there was yesterday for Canada day its still pretty busy lets
go up the top and I'll give you a view over the whole square I guess yesterday was a Saturday
so London generally a bit busier on a Saturday than a Sunday plenty of hijab's and halal
food on the go kids getting there faces painted some stalls selling Islamic art most of the
food seems to be down there more sort of arts and crafts up here queue for henna tattoos
looks pretty pretty long fashion single Muslims .com if your looking for a date OK and I'am
back where I started I've done a lap there of Trafalgar Square so I hope You've enjoyed
this little look at the Eid festival here in London 2017 I'am going to go and check
out some more acts might get a coconut its pretty hot today so until next time from Trafalgar
Square Toodles!
be interesting to see what kind of picture the main steam media paint of this guarantee
it won't be chill out music and falafels
