FRANCE MOURNS AND HONOURS JOHNNY !


During almost 60 years, everyone who has seen or heard the 74 year old star Johnny Hallyday sing rock & roll, has a souvenir associated with one of his songs. 

Today they were millions either watching his  funeral  procession directly in Paris or on their televisions.  The procession went to the Madeleine Church, via the Avenue de la Grande Armée and the Champs Elysée .

President Macron and the two previous  Presidents (Sarkozy and Hollande) attended the religious ceremony.

The eulogies of orators obviously underlined the reasons for Johnny's popularity among all generations during the last sixty years.

Probably some Hotels, Restaurants and Bars will make a "claim to fame" by announcing that Johnny slept, ate or drank in their establishments !   Will Roads and Squares also be named after him ?

It will be a very long time before another Personality is burried, who has also stirred-up as much intense interest and heart-felt sorrow !
