Hundreds of predominately Shia Muslims gather for the annual Ashura Day Procession starting near Hyde Park. Established in 1989 by the Islamic Universal Association, the procession marks the day of Ashura when Hussain ibn Ali, grandson of Islamic prophet Muhammad, was killed during the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. In the west, Ashura is best known for a ritual of self-flagellation, which is observed by a minority of Muslims. London, UK
