Blackburn's Annual Eid Milad-un-Nabi Procession: Man Tried Starting But Community Stands Up For Me 🫡

Video Description: ​I went out to film and cover the annual Eid Milad-un-Nabi procession—celebrating the birth of Prophet Muhammad—for the first time in over three years! ​The day started off on a fantastic note with a peaceful, respectful atmosphere, great energy, and warm greetings from everyone passing by. However, things briefly turned rocky in the middle when a steward/security volunteer tried to tell me where I could and couldn't walk in a public space, asking me to move despite doing nothing wrong and already standing quietly at the back. ​Thankfully, the local community stepped in! Members of the Muslim community quickly spoke up, put a stop to the situation, and stood up for my right to film peacefully. Massive respect and gratitude to everyone who showed support and made sure the day remained positive. ​From there, it only got better—I met an amazing chap from Accrington, had great conversations on the walk, exchanged contact details, caught up with a few friends, and was even offered food and drinks. ​Thank you to everyone who made this event memorable and welcoming.
