For the first time in its 1,000-year history, an open Iftar event has been hosted in Windsor Castle's State Apartments.On Sunday, more than 350 people gathered in St George's Hall to break their Ramadan fast. "It's an amazing atmosphere – it just doesn't feel real," one attendee told the BBC.

On Sunday the call to prayer echoed throughout the building to signal the time to break the fast. Dates were eaten and prayers said before the meal was served.
"It's very kind of the Royal Family to open their home to us," one woman told the BBC.
Another added: "We never thought we'd be here breaking Iftar. We've come a long way."
