Family to bury Jean-Marie Le Pen as police deployed and protesters banned from funeral

Police officers have been deployed to ensure demonstrators don’t disturb the private family funeral of French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.

The deeply polarising co-founder of France’s postwar far-Right movement died on Tuesday, aged 96, at a care facility in Garches, sparking celebrations from those who opposed him.

The funeral, set to take place Saturday afternoon in Mr Le Pen’s hometown of La Trinité-sur-Mer in the Morbihan region of Brittany in northwestern France, will be “in the strictest privacy with family,” his relatives said.

A defining figure of French far-Right politics, he will be buried in the same vault as his late parents. A public ceremony is scheduled for Jan 16 in Paris.
