DS is 22 months old and still breastfeeding. I have a 6 week old dd (also feeding). DS was down to just a bedtime feed in the latter stages of the pregnancy, but when I started producing masses of milk again when dd was born, he started to feed much more often!

I now really want to wean him, however I don't know where to start! He is still fed to sleep in the evening, although he is not fed back to sleep if he wakes in the night.
I do not know how he will wean if he constantly sees his sister feeding.

I don't want this to be traumatic for him, but do want to do it as soon as possible. Is there anyone who has weaned in a similar set of circumstances to these who can help me please?!

I would recommend that you read LLL's How Weaning Happens book. It has a lot of info in it.

No personal experience I'm afraid. DS still going strong at 3.5yo!!

Congratulations on your dd.
