A "wonderful" annual pilgrimage that boosts community spirit took place in Watford as part of National Inter Faith Week.

Residents walked around the town and visited different places of worship - spending 20 minutes at each location where they were given brief introductions to different faiths that make up the Watford community.

Watford councillor Asif Khan, who was among those to take part, said: "This annual event provides a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together across faiths, strengthening our bonds and celebrating the diversity that makes Watford unique."
