Members of Bradford’s Ahmadiyya Muslim community are in London for its 46th annual convention this weekend.
They are joining about 30,000 Ahmadies from around the UK on a 210-acre site near Alton where a mini-city is specially built for the event. Accommodation and food on the site is free to delegates.
There are also free buses run from Alton to the convention site.
Tanweer Akhtar Shahid, of Sewell Road, Bradford one of the delegates, said: “If you visit this convention you cannot miss the way the mini city is organised and the way the residents are provided with all necessities of life.
“It presents a best model for any government of the world to copy.”
Proceedings will be televised by the Muslim Television Ahmadiyya and be translated live in up to 16 languages.
