http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35615205Hafiz Patel, leading figure and respected cleric of the Tablighi Jamaat branch of the Islamic faith. Over 20000 people turned up for his funeral earlier, which is an incredible sight in such a small area as Savile Town, Dewsbury. It's roads are completely ill-equipped to deal with such numbers, especially on a Friday. I was passing en-route to the sports centre and we had to abandon the taxi.
