He was a French film legend. And even after his death, fans are celebrating Alain Delon. The star’s memorial service is far away from the cameras. But some fans are still very close.
France’s film legend Alain Delon has been buried. The actor was buried this afternoon at his estate in Douchy, central France, the French news agency AFP reported. According to media reports, the funeral took place in a small circle.
Delon had said several times that he did not want a national tribute. He wanted a small funeral on his estate and wanted to be buried there in a chapel next to many of his dogs.
Hours before the funeral, dozens of the actor’s fans arrived at the gates of his compound. They laid flowers and signed a condolence book. At the same time as the funeral, Delon’s admirers observed a minute’s silence and sang for the deceased artist.
Delon acted in more than 80 films. He became a legend with “The Cruel Intention” directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. Delon died last Sunday at the age of 88.
