Christchurch's Al Noor mosque has reopened its doors eight days after they were shuttered in the wake of the killing of 50 worshippers in the worst mass shootings in New Zealand's modern history.
Officials at Al Noor, where more than 40 people were shot dead during the attack on March 15, started allowing small groups of people back into the complex to pray and pay their respects shortly after midday on Saturday.
Here is more from Al Jazeera's Andrew Thomas, who was invited inside the Al Noor mosque.
