Thousands of protesters including the Ex beauty queen and wife of the Jordanian king "Queen Rania" took to the streets in the capital of Jordan to show support for their government’s fight against ISIL militants. Queen Rania joined the thousands after Friday prayers in a show of solidarity.
The march came on the back of the air strikes on Thursday. Unconfirmed reports claimed Jordan had carried out fresh air strikes on Friday.
There have been emotional scenes in Jordan as King Abdullah II comforts the family of the captured pilot murdered by ISIL militants.
But the sadness has also turned to anger, with promises of what the king describes as a “harsh” response.
Jordanian parliamentarian, Mazen Al-Dalaeen, said: “We ask the international community to increase the military offensive against this terrorist organisation, which is not related to Islam, this brutal organisation, killing innocent people.”
There was shock around the world after ISIL militants in Syria released a video of the pilot being burned alive in a cage.
Jordan has already started sending more fighter jets to bomb ISIL positions.
