Images of Eid prayers which debunk a motorists claims that worshippers were not social distancing have been released.

The prayers were being held at St Brides Sports Ground, Old Trafford.

Some people have been quick to share images from angles which appear to show Muslims not social distancing. But on closer inspection volunteers can be seen marshalling the event and everyone has their own prayer mat.

Earlier this week we reported a picture being shared in Blackburn which seemed to suggest crowds of Muslims praying alongside one another in a mosque car park. Another image from a vantage shows the worshippers sat apart.
