Thousands of people paid tribute to Charles Aznavour this Friday. The President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, and the Armenian Prime Minister delivered a eulogy in the courtyard of the Invalides.
The tribute to Charles Aznavour was held at 10 am in the courtyard of the Invalides this Friday. The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron and the Armenian Prime Minister paid tribute to him and pronounced, each, a eulogy.
Then it was at the sound of "Take me" played at the piano and sung by the Republican Guard that the coffin left, just after 11 am, the Invalides. More than 2000 people were on site.
