I would like to send my best wishes to Muslims across the world who are celebrating Eid al-Adha, marking the end of Hajj, the holy pilgrimage to Mecca. We remember all of those killed and injured in the terrible accident at the Grand Mosque and our thoughts are with their families at this time.

As Muslims gather with their families I wish you a peaceful and joyous Eid al-Adha.

Eid Mubarak.
