Francesca Washer said she had learned so much about the Prophet and Islam

Francesca Washer, 64, said she felt “honoured” to be invited.

She said: ‘It has surpassed my expectations. I’ve learned so much about the Prophet and Islam and the different sacred buildings that are special to people who follow the Islamic faith.”

She said it was a privilege to be around the “beautiful woven artefacts” knowing the time, effort and dedication that people must have put in to create them.
