`Eid Al-Adha 2020 has been a new experience in the era of COVID-19.

Those who did safely make it to the mosque or outdoor prayer spaces enjoyed social distancing `Eid celebrations.

Whether indoors in Cambridge, UK, and Queensland, Australia, or outdoors in Coventry, UK, many did their best to attend an `Eid prayer.

The thrill and excitement remained in the UK with many still wearing henna and some went as far as to enjoy a BBQ on what was officially the hottest day of the year in the UK so far, reaching as high as 38 Celsius.
