The funeral for screen legend Alain Delon is set for this Saturday 24, August, 2024.
Delon, who passed away at the age of 88, will be buried in Douchy-Montcorbon, a village in central France where he spent his final years.
The service will be officiated by Jean-Michel Di Falco, a former bishop.
Delon had expressed a wish for a private burial near his dogs on his property, rather than a national memorial event.
His passing has prompted tributes from around the world, celebrating his significant impact on cinema.
Delon was born on November 8, 1935, in Sceaux, a suburb south of Paris. He had a turbulent childhood marked by his parents’ divorce and was sent to live with a foster family at the age of four.
Delon had three children: Anthony, Anouchka, and Alain-Fabien34. His family life has been quite public, with recent years marked by disputes among his children over his care and legacy.
Known for his striking looks and memorable roles in films like “The Leopard” and “Rocco and His Brothers,” Delon was a significant figure in French cinema.
He passed away peacefully on August 18, 2024, at his home, surrounded by his family, after being in poor health in recent years and had become a virtual recluse. More recently, the breakdown of his family had made headlines in France.
His death marks the end of an era for many fans and the film industry.
