Alain Delon’s funeral: his admirers in large numbers in front of his property in Douchy
(France 2)
Alain Delon’s funeral took place this Saturday, August 24. He was buried in the presence of his loved ones. His admirers were kept at a distance but they were visited by the actor’s sons.
The guests quickly pass in front of the entrance. Nothing will filter through about the ceremony. The actor wanted it to take place in the strictest privacy with around forty close friends. We only know that it was Monsignor Di Falco, the former bishop of the stars, who celebrated the funeral in a chapel that the actor had built on his estate and near which he now rests. In front of the gates, admirers still crowded all day long. “He wanted privacy, we must respect that”says one fan.
A few hours before the ceremony, Alain Delon’s sons came to thank those present and read the little notes left by the fans. Many were touched by the gesture. An emotional farewell that ended in song in the rain, as if to accompany the nostalgia that took hold of the crowd.
