With peace fragile in many parts of the world, the group sees unity between faiths as "vitally important".

In a speech at the celebration, Mayor Frank Marsh said: "Welwyn Hatfield Interfaith have created myriad opportunities for the faith groups in the borough to meet by promoting discussions between them leading to greater understanding, tolerance and respect.

"Many social occasions have also been organised resulting in firm friendships being formed."
