THE GUARDIAN: Service attended by singers, animal rights activists and public figures including far-right leader Marine Le Pen
Brigitte Bardot, the film star turned animal rights activist, has been laid to rest after a funeral service in Saint-Tropez attended by her favourite politician, the far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
Bardot died aged 91 at her La Madrague villa on 28 December. Her funeral was held at the Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church and broadcast on large screens across the town.
Speaking before the service, Bardot’s husband, Bernard d’Ormale, said she had died of cancer. Without specifying the type of cancer, he told Paris Match his wife had dealt “very well” with two operations before the disease “took her” last month. » | Angela Giuffrida, Angelique Chrisafis and agencies | Wednesday, January 7, 2026
