Also on board the helicopter were Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Mohammad Ali Ale-Hashem, the representative of Iran's Supreme Leader to East Azarbaijan.
RAISI BURIED IN MASHHAD
A sea of mourners turned up to say a final farewell to Raisi in Mashhad - his hometown in the north-east. Many were seen holding photos of the late President and late Iran's Foreign minister. Some were trying to hold back their tears. Raisi was laid to rest four days after the chopper crash. The burial ceremony was attended by Iranian government, military and religious officials. Eight passengers and crew were killed when the helicopter crashed in mountainous terrain near the Azerbaijan border. The burial took place at the holy shrine of Imam Reza, Iran's holiest Islamic site and revered as the resting place of the 9th century Imam Ali al-Reza. Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian was laid to rest in the city of Rey, south of Tehran.
Raisi was widely seen as someone who would succeed Iran's Supreme leader, 85-year old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who led prayers for them in Tehran on the 22nd of May.
