The funeral of Johnny Hallyday

Paris

Thousands line the street of Paris for Johnny Hallyday's funeral.
Little known in the UK, he was the greatest rocker France has ever seen.
We saw him in concert several years ago, he was amazing.

M. Macron and M. Sarkozy plus many other well known personalities attended the service in Madelaine.
The cortège, escorted by several hundred bikers, left the Arc de Triomphe, down the Champs ÉLysées, via Place de Concorde and onto Madelaine.

I had heard of him, but not really his music. He was a bit like Cliff Richard in some respects, wasn't he? But then there are certain English speaking countries where he is hardly known too!

Thanks for introducing him to us Chris! I was amazed when I saw some of the funeral online. Such a calm crowd outdoors & beautiful church interior!

He must have been so famous in France, but like Laine I had never heard of him either...

I remember Johnny Hallyday! I just heard that he had died... what a fitting sendoff for him. V

Amazing this show of support from him. I did not hear of him until he passed away.

He certainly was a popular entertainer, though I admit I've never heard of him.
