Visited lots of places of worship in my time (as a godless reporter) but I'm embarrassed to say yesterday was my first time at a synagogue, in this case Heaton Park synagogue where the congregation heard moving tributes to the two heroes who died in the terror attack last year

This is Mitra Mehran with her son Ashkan. She fled the regime in 1979. “I think they are the most horrible, vicious people,” she says.

Many of those gathered here are carrying posters showing Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the son of the late Shah of Iran who they believe to be the rightful leader of the country. He is in exile in the US
