A moving sequence. This Saturday, August 24, Anthony and Alain-Fabien Delon, the sons of Alain Delon, took the time to pay their respects in front of the gates of the Douchy (Loiret) property before going to their father’s funeral. The two brothers took the opportunity to meet the many admirers of their late father, who came to leave flowers and messages in honor of Alain Delon. Anthony Delon even took the time to address the fans present at the scene.He is there, he sees us“, he assured. Unable to hide his emotions, Alain-Fabien Delon was comforted by his big brother. In a video published on his Instagram account this Tuesday, August 27, the eldest of the family wanted to thank the actor’s fans, many of whom went to Douchy after the death of Alain Delon.
“Thank you to all of you, his audience that he loved, for these spontaneous tributes come from the heart“, he declared in the preamble, in a video where we can see the many flowers, photographs and other symbolic objects placed in front of Alain Delon’s last home.”Thanks to all those who could not go to Douchy and who have shown their admiration or respect with fervor everywhere in France and throughout the world. A special thought for Italy, which he loved so much, his second homeland.“, said Paul Belmondo’s friend, before concluding: “It is thanks to and through you that he will continue to live..”

Alain Delon’s funeral, a guest recounts the details of the ceremony: “Anthony spoke without any paper in front of him”
There were few of them – at the actor’s request – but ultimately too many for the small chapel of the Brûlerie, Alain Delon’s 120-hectare property in Douchy, which had to be extended with a marquee this Saturday, August 24, the day of the funeral of the cult actor, who died last August 18, at the age of 88. The first guests (out of the forty or so present in the end) arrived around 1:30 p.m., as indicated by the daily newspaper The Parisian. The chapel welcomed them at 4 p.m. Just a few moments later, it was Alain Delon’s coffin that appeared, carried inside by his children, Anthony, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien, and employees of the funeral home, in what turned out to be a moment “upsetting“, as one guest pointed out. At that moment, a well-known music resonated, that of Sicilian Clanby Ennio Morricone.
Anthony, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien Delon then sat in the front row, next to the three daughters of the eldest of the siblings, Loup, Liv and Alyson. If Vincent Lindon gave a touching speech, those of the three children also left their mark on the assembly.Anthony spoke without any paper in front of him. It was powerful, very beautiful. We felt that it came from the bottom of the heart.“, confided a guest. On the music side, that of the feature film Two men in the citycomposed by Philippe Sarde, was broadcast after the speeches. The actor’s dog, Loubo, who was so dear to him, was also present in the chapel, walking around as he pleased, the daily revealed.
