HUNDREDS of people took part in the latest annual Keighley procession to celebrate the birthday of the prophet Mohammed.

The occasion, organised by Keighley Muslim Association, featured a new route for the procession on Sunday.

The walkers began outside the Markazi Jamia Mosque in Emily Street and headed onto Bradford Road, Parson Street, Plover Street, East Avenue and Skipton Road.

Participants waved green flags and were offered food, sweets and hot drinks along the route, donated by local businesses.

The procession finished shortly before 1pm and was followed by speeches focusing on the life and character of the prophet Muhammad. Food was served in the community centre attached to the mosque.
