CHRISTCHURCH (Reuters) - Aya al-Umari looks at the bunches of flowers and reads messages of support outside the Al Noor mosque, tributes left for the victims of the Christchurch shootings a year on from the attacks.

Al-Umari's brother Hussein, 35, was one of 51 Muslim worshippers killed when a gunman opened fire at the city's Al Noor and Linwood mosques.
