When I first started this, I adjusted fast with a liquid fast. I was having water and tea only.
I'm now doing 30 days of no food or liquid (sunrise to sunset). I am finding it easy but the last two hours, I become easily agitated.
can any one give me some advice please?

True I guess, but it happens at the end only..What do you seriously expect with such an aggressive change to your dietary intake?
I get annoyed quick towards the end, especially when food is near!what do you mean by agitated?
sounds like normal hunger to me : )I get annoyed quick towards the end, especially when food is near!
We call it “Hangry” here.sounds like normal hunger to me : )
Are you following this for religious reasons? (Hypothetical Q)
If not then maybe for now accept that a slightly shorter fast is better suited for you. Or accept you’ll be a bit hangry for the last few hours. Or amend it to a water fast.
I am not expert but understand, from my Muslim friends, that their faith and religious observances sort of bolster them up through this in some way which is real to them. Perhaps that element is also an important part of this observance and more difficult without it?I’m following a religious fast style as a challenge with a friend
Bit of a contradiction there.. ?I am finding it easy but the last two hours, I become easily agitated.

Am I right in thinking this is after about 16-17 hours? I'd suggest drinking some water at least and see if you feel better. Dry fasting is something best built up to and is something I may try one day but leaping into a 19 hour dry fast without some practise I'd say was a bit dangerous. Especially as you as yet don't really know what is wrong with you?
I realise that you are trying to support your friend but making yourself ill by doing it will make him feel awful...
