Last Farewell from Chania

The coffin with Mikis Theodorakis arriving at Chania's Mitropolis Church for a last farewell from the Cretans in Chania. At midday his coffin will be taken to Galatas, the village where the family had their home and where they have their family grave.
Crete is receiving on of its greatest sons today... Athanatos / Immortal is exclaimed many times and several of his resistance songs are sung while bidding him farewell
There were 96 men in Cretan traditional outfits... for every year of his life one man in " Vraki-foro" those special pants
The fight with his daughter has ended; she's not present at his funeral services, not yesterday in Athens, not today in Chania,  just in Galatas she joined in.
