Hundreds of Muslims from the local community would normally attend the funeral, or Janazah, of an imam, but due to social distancing and lockdown guidelines, mourners will not be able to pay their respects in the usual way.
A statement from the mosque said: “Due to the current Government guidelines we are unable to share funeral details with you.
“We kindly request that you abide by these rules and support us in these difficult times.”
