To best of my knowledge, Eid-ul-Fitr will be on tuesday 24/10/06 in the UK.
Eid is on first day of the month of Shawal. The crescent moon will not be visible in the UK until 24/10/06, and since 23/10/06 will signal the 30th day of Ramadan, Eid will be on the following day ie. Tuesday 24th.

Official Decision and Announcement of the High Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia...
Just a short time ago, Fatwa-Online was informed of the official decision and announcement of the High Judiciary Council of Saudi Arabia that since the moon of Shawwaal was not sighted this evening, here in Saudi Arabia, we shall be completing thirty (30) days of Ramadhaan (1427 A.H.), in accordance with the hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam):
((Fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you, then complete thirty days of Sha'baan. And break your fast when you see the crescent. If it is obscured to you then fast thirty days)), [transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim].
Subsequently, we shall be celebrating 'Eed al-Fitr on Monday 23 October 2006, inshaa.-Allaah.
