London Mayor Sadiq Khan has issued a new year's message from Makkah.
A post on his official Twitter account on Thursday showed Mr Khan praying in front of the Kaaba as some Umrah pilgrims performed the circumambulation ritual at the sacred site in Saudi Arabia.
During his Umrah pilgrimage, he visited Makkah and Madinah.
Mr Khan was born in Tooting, south London, to a working-class British-Pakistani family. In 2016, he became the first Muslim mayor of the city.
He won a second term last year as many of his Labour Party colleagues lost in elections across England.

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
