The first of several funeral ceremonies for president Ebrahim Raisi has taken place in Iran.

Crowds of mourners filled the streets of the city of Tabriz, near the site where Raisi and his entourage died after their helicopter went down in heavy fog on Sunday. Later, a funeral procession brought the coffins though the holy city of Qom. Iranian state media said the crash was the result of a technical failure. The army says it's launched an investigation.
