World leaders pay final respects to Jacques Chirac at Paris funeral as France mourns popular ex-president

Dozens of world leaders, including Vladimir Putin, have paid silent tribute to Jacques Chirac, the late French president, at a funeral service in Paris.

Flags flew at half-mast across the country on a national day of mourning.

Thousands of well-wishers had lined the streets of Paris to get a glimpse of the military motorcade carrying the casket.

To the strains of Fauré’s Requiem, Mr Chirac’s former bodyguards carried the coffin of the former Gaullist leader, draped in a French flag, up the steps of the Saint-Sulpice church.

Inside, Mr Putin – who heaped praise on Mr Chirac after his death aged 86 last week as a “wise” and “intelligent” leader – paid his respects alongside 80 other current and former heads of state and royals. – Source
