Only vehicles forming part of the procession or emergency service vehicles can travel along the roads during the procession.

Previous processions – which mark the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed – have attracted around 1,000 people to take part and takes place annually organised by the city’s Muslim community.

The procession route goes between Masjid-e-Noor in Noor Street, Deepdale, and Masjid-e-Aqsa in Fishwick Parade – starting in Fishwick.

The parade had previously been listed – under the city council’s public notice – as starting at 1.30pm.

This was adjusted on Saturday evening when Lancashire Police got involved, following queries from many Preston North End fans, pointing out the PNE v Blackburn Rovers game at Deepdale Stadium which kicks off at 12noon would be finishing as the parade and road closures were in full swing.
