Oxford Muslim chaplain pays tribute to the Queen

The Muslim chaplain and founder of the Oxford Foundation has paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II and said "it's ok to cry".

Imam Monawar Hussain added he had shed a few tears after hearing the UK's longest-reigning monarch had died on Thursday at Balmoral Castle, aged 96.

He has since paid tribute to the monarch, who he believes was "totally devoted to serving all her people".
