An Islamic priest will for the first time take part in a service at Keighley's main Anglican and Methodist Church.

The imam will say a prayer for peace during the Remembrance Day service at Keighley Shared Church.

Old soldiers from Keighley's Asian community have also been invited to take part in the Remembrance commemorations this Sunday.

They will join other ex-servicemen and women both in the church and during the wreath-laying ceremony in the town hall square.

Mahmood Miah, imam at the Bangladeshi mosque in Victoria Road, Keighley, was invited by the church's priest-in-charge the Rev Peter Mott (pictured).

Mr Mott stresses that care is being taken to avoid offending either Christian or Muslim worshippers in the congregation.

Members of each religion will be able to listen respectfully while the others' prayers are being said.

Mr Mott said: "It's the first time there's been official recognition of the Muslim presence at the service. There are sensitivities on both sides."

A small number of Asian ex-servicemen, who fought with the Allies during the Second World War, have attended previous Remembrance Day parades.

This year Mr Mott has invited a larger group of about 10 Pakistani men, who regularly attend the Sangat Community Centre.

For the first time Keighley's Bangladeshi Community Association will be among groups laying wreaths.
