Thousands Line Out In Paris to See Johnny Hallyday's Funeral Procession

Crowds lined the streets of Paris on December 9 to bid farewell to French rock star Johnny Hallyday. A funeral cortege led by police officers on motorcycles accompanied a hearse down the Champs Elysees to a ceremony at the Madeleine church.

Earlier in the day, hundreds of bikers paraded through Paris in memory of the singer, and President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to Hallyday in a eulogy at the church.
