French Film Icon Alain Delon Laid to Rest in Private Ceremony

The 88-year-old actor, known for his roles in 'Le Samouraï' and 'Purple Noon,' was buried at his estate in Douchy, with only close family and friends in attendance.

Delon was buried near his beloved dogs, fulfilling his wish for a private funeral without national homage.
The ceremony was attended by around 50 mourners, including his children and close friends, with strict privacy measures in place.
Fans gathered outside the estate to pay their respects, leaving flowers and tributes.
Delon's request to have his dog Loubo buried with him was denied; the dog will remain with the family.
Delon, a controversial figure, faced criticism for his personal views and relationships, yet remained a celebrated film star.
