Hundreds turned out for the funeral of the Muslim shopkeeper who was stabbed to death after posting a 'Happy Easter' message.
Family and friends paid their respects to Asad Shah, 40, at the Bait-Ur-Rahman Mosque in Glasgow earlier today.
The newsagent was murdered at his shop on Good Friday, hours after wishing a happy Easter 'to my beloved Christian nation' in a Facebook post.

The service was attended by family, local politicians and friends of the 40-year-old shopkeeper. Written on the walls of the Bait-Ur-Rahman Mosque were the words: 'Love for all, hatred for none'
Mr Shah's family described him as a 'brilliant man' and 'a beloved husband, son, brother and everyone's friend'
He was stabbed and had his head stamped upon in what police described as a 'religiously prejudiced' killing.
Tanveer Ahmed, 32, from Bradford in West Yorkshire, has appeared in court charged with murder.
Local politicians including MPs Alison Thewliss and Carol Monaghan and MSP Sandra White were among those who attended the hour-long service.
Mr Shah's coffin was carried into the mosque by relatives and by friends from the Armadiyya Muslim community.
Written on the walls of the mosque were the words: 'Love for all, hatred for none'.
His family stood at the coffin to greet mourners and well-wishers in accordance with Muslim custom.
After the prayers, the coffin was carried into a waiting black hearse to be driven to Glasgow's Cardonald Cemetery, where Mr Shah was buried.
Abdul Abid, president of the Ahmadiyya community in Scotland, said after the service: 'We are sad that a very popular man of our community is not with us any more.

'I don't know how we will survive without him. He was a polite, gentle person.
'Today's service is in his memory and we are proud to have had such a wonderful person amongst our community.'
The funeral came three days after Mr Shah's devastated family paid tribute to him as a 'brilliant man'.
They said he had been taken away by an 'incomprehensible act'.
The family's statement said: 'On Thursday evening a beloved husband, son, brother and everyone's friend, Asad Shah, was taken away from us. We are devastated by this loss.
'A person's religion, ethnicity, race, gender or socioeconomic background never mattered to Asad.
'He met everyone with the utmost kindness and respect because those are just some of the many common threads that exist across every faith in our world.
'He was a brilliant man, recognising that the differences between people are vastly outweighed by our similarities.'
After the killing it emerged that Mr Shah had been the subject of online death threats but had never reported them.
