Abstract: Every synchronising permutation group is primitive and of one of three types: affine, almost simple, or diagonal. We exhibit the first known example of a synchronising diagonal type group. More precisely, we show that $mathrmPSL(2,q)imesmathrmPSL(2,q)$ acting in its diagonal action on $mathrmPSL(2,q)$ is separating, and hence synchronising, for $q=13$ and $q=17$. Furthermore, we show that such groups are non-spreading for all prime powers $q$.
