Final Farewell At Paris To Jacques Chirac

Bystanders gather beside the gravestone at The Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris on September 29, 2019, where former French President Jacques Chirac will be buried next to his daughter Laurence after his funeral which is scheduled for September 30. Jacques Chirac died on September 26 at the age of 86 after a long battle with deteriorating health, prompting tributes from across the political spectrum for a charismatic statesman who famously said "non" to the 2003 Iraq war. The centre-right Chirac, acknowledged even by foes as a canny political fighter, rose to prominence as mayor of Paris before becoming prime minister and then serving as head of state from 1995 to 2007.
