THE Muslim celebration of Eid coincided with Remembrance Sunday this year but Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council offended many Darwen people by the incongruous and inappropriate siting of a banner proclaiming the fact.
No-one in their right mind would dream of putting Christmas decorations around a memorial to the fallen but that is what it amounts to.
This was totally unnecessary. I don't recall seeing a similar banner proclaiming the Jewish New Year and as Darwen is home to people of many faiths a dangerous precedent has been made.
