IVAN Lewis was among the special guests who attended a successful Bury Community Eid Fayre.

The Bury South MP was among 160 people who took part in the event, held at the town's Polish Centre.

The fayre was organised jointly by Bury Carers Centre, Asian Development Association of Bury, Bury Parents Forum, Jinnah Centre and Bury Asian Women's Centre. They got together to celebrate Eid and to promote their services as well as providing support and advice to the community.

Organisers said the event was a "huge success" with attractions including funfair rides, stalls, henna painting, raffle, Asian food and entertainment by Iftikhar Ahmed.

Other guests included councillors Joan Grimshaw, Shaheena Haroon and Tamoor Tariq, together with Lynne Stafford, chief executive of the Gaddum Centre in Manchester which provides service to the disadvantaged.
