Hundreds of thousands of Iranians from across the country gathered at Tehran's Mausoleum of Ayatollah Seyyed Ruhollah Khomeini to mark the 27th anniversary of the death of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Earlier, Khomeini's grandson Hassan Khomeini addressed the crowds at the mausoleum, with an estimated total of 1.3 million people attending the ceremony in and outside the venue.
Khomeini led Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran and Iran's last monarch, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. He passed away on 3 June 1989 at the age of 87.
