Events are taking place across Iran to mark 40 years since the 1979 revolution, which sent Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi into exile and ended more than 2500 of Persian monarchy. The commemorations will culminate with Victory Day on February 11 - exactly four decades after revolutionaries loyal to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini won control of state television channels and the military abandoned its support for the Shah and declared itself neutral.
