Mass of people try to get on board as millions celebrate the end of Ramadan

Bangladeshis packed into - and onto - trains in the capital Dhaka tonight as they raced home to break their last fast of Ramadan.

The annual Muslim fasting period has come to an end and these commuters were trying to get home as quickly as possible to prepare for the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which begins tomorrow.

For the past month observant Muslims across the world have refrained from eating or drinking anything from dawn to sunset in a show of spiritual devotion.
