00:00Le funeral de la musique de la musique, Johnny Halliday, est en Paris.
00:06C'était l'heure où des gens se sont venus.
00:08Des gens de la rue de la France, pour payer l'hommage à la 74-year-old qui a eu
00:14lieu earlier ce week.
00:16Nous allons vous montrer les images de la photo maintenant, comme la cérémonie se passe.
00:21Les gens se sont rassemblés au cours de la rue pour payer leur respect à la femme.
00:28et que certains de les connaissait le French Elvis.
00:31Il y a un cortège qui passait à la Champs-Élysées.
00:34Et quand il y a un cortège qui paused,
00:36il y a des membres de ses membres de ses grands hits
00:39de son son de l'esprit en fronte de la chambre.
00:42Vous pouvez voir les gens qui font leur respect
00:45et qui font leur vie, ainsi que leur musique.
00:48Let's just have a little listen.
01:05C'est la scène live at the Madeleine Church
01:07where the funeral is taking place
01:08for the French rock legend Johnny Halliday.
01:11A little earlier, our Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield
01:13gave us more of a sense of the atmosphere there.
01:17These have been incredible scenes, extremely powerful ones.
01:21I mean, I felt my own eyes prickling over
01:25as President Macron delivered his oration
01:28on the steps of the Madeleine Church
01:29before this vast, vast crowd
01:32who just went silent when he started speaking.
01:35And then he started speaking
01:36and then they all just burst out shouting
01:38Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.
01:40And then they calmed down again
01:42and he was able to deliver a very moving address.
01:47And all power to him, Macron,
01:49to stand before hundreds of thousands,
01:52must be, I don't know, half a million people maybe there.
01:55and to come to pay respect to a rock singer
01:58and to be able to command them
01:59and to capture the mood which he did.
02:01And, you know, as he reminded them,
02:04I mean, everybody in France
02:06knows at least one Johnny Halliday song.
02:09Even if you're not a great fan of his,
02:10you'll know one song,
02:11which is something which you've heard at one point
02:13which you associate with some part of your life,
02:15either a happy moment or a sad moment.
02:18And that's why he's so important
02:20because he is someone who's figured in everyone's lives.
02:22And the people who are here
02:23are creating this vast crowd on the streets.
02:27I've been looking at the faces
02:29mainly from that kind of duration,
02:31people in their 50s and 60s and older.
02:34And those are the people
02:34who really, really feel bereaved and bereft
02:37now that he's gone
02:38because they're people who associate him
02:41with the happiest, most joyful, optimistic time
02:44of their lives back in the 60s
02:46and who've followed him all the way through.
02:48But it has to be said that, you know,
02:49they're not the only ones.
02:50There are younger people who really, really loved him
02:53and caught one or two of his songs
02:55and then regarded those songs as part of their lives.
03:00That's Hugh Schofield there,
03:01speaking to us a little earlier from Paris.
