Worthing's Islamic community organised a celebration of Eid, to mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, on the evening of 30th August.
Cllr Turner was invited to attend, and spoke to the group who had gathered with their families.
He said "This was the first time a communal celebration of Eid has been organised in Worthing and I was priviliged to be invited and I was very happy to attend. Multi-culturalism gets a bad name in some places, but in Worthing we can see how communities can live happily side by side, and work together with mutual respect towards a safe, peacefull and prosperous town."
