Russell Brand ate an iftaar meal with Muslim Aid volunteers and the local community in Whitechapel.

Muslim Aid hosted their annual Ramadan iftaar, as part of a community cohesion feeding the needy programme in association with the Salvation Army.

The event acknowledged 150 years of The Salvation Army in Tower Hamlets.

The Salvation Army was founded by pioneers William and Catherine Booth in the East End of London in 1865 in response to the homeless people sleeping on the banks of the Thames.
