Iran's late President, Ebrahim Raisi, is being buried in his home city of Mashhad, four days after he was killed in a helicopter crash, APA reports quoting BBC.
The 63-year-old hard-line cleric will be laid to rest in the holy shrine of Imam Reza, a revered figure in Shia Islam.
TV pictures showed large crowds gathered in one of the north-eastern city’s main streets ahead of the ceremony.
Seven other people died in Sunday's crash during bad weather in Iran's mountainous north-west.
They include Raisi’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who was buried on Thursday at the Shah Abdolazim shrine in Rey, a southern suburb of the capital Tehran.
