Iranians mourn Ali Khamenei at funeral in Tehran

Iranian mourners called for revenge as vast crowds packed central Tehran for the start of the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The doors of the Grand Mosalla prayer complex opened at 6am local time to mourners who had gathered from the night before.

Mr Khamenei’s coffin, wrapped in an Iranian flag, was placed on a raised platform alongside the coffins of family members killed in the same attack, as mourners filed past to pay their respects, separated into men’s and women’s routes.
