Officers found the windows at the Yesoday Hatorah Girls Senior School, a Charedi school in Stamford Hill, had been covered when they arrived at 21:15 GMT on Thursday.

The guests fled the scene when officers arrived.

The organisers were fined £10,000 for breaching coronavirus regulations, while five other guests were issued £200 fines, police said.

The area is home to the UK's largest Charedi community of strictly Orthodox Jews.

Stamford Hill is part of the borough of Hackney, which has a Covid-19 infection rate of 625.43 cases per 100,000 people.

The England average rate is 471.31 per 100,000 people.

London is under an England-wide lockdown, which prevents social mixing between households.

Londoners are asked to only leave home for limited reasons such as shopping, going to work, seeking medical assistance, or avoiding domestic abuse.

Not stupid, not deluded, just bloody arrogant.

Hi

Just Jewish.

I think so too.

I don't think they were Jewish, as they don't conduct their weddings like this.

Whoever they were, they are still breaking the present rules and deserve to be punished.
