The late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash last weekend, was buried on Thursday in his hometown of Mashhad.
Raisi was buried next to the mausoleum of the eighth Shiite Imam Reza in Mashhad, state broadcaster IRIB reported. It is considered the most important Shia shrine in Iran.
Three million people attended the funeral ceremony in Mashhad, according to state news agency IRNA. There were no independent estimates.
Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and seven other passengers were killed in a helicopter crash in the northwest of the country on Sunday. Amirabdollahian was buried on Thursday in the capital Tehran.
Before that, there was a state-organized funeral service for the president in his home region of Khorasan, attended by tens of thousands.
The provincial capital Birjand was chosen as the penultimate stop of the funeral ceremonies because Raisi had a special bond with the city, Vice President Mohsen Mansouri explained. Raisi also represented Birjand in the Council of Experts, an influential spiritual body in Iran.
