French priest funeral: Jacques Hamel mourned in Rouen
2nd August 2016
Thousands have gathered at Rouen cathedral in Normandy for the funeral of French priest Father Jacques Hamel, who was murdered in his church by Islamist extremists last week.
A public ceremony is being led by the city's archbishop. Later, Father Hamel will be interred in a private burial.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve and senior Roman Catholic clerics are attending the service.
Father Hamel had his throat cut when two men stormed his church during Mass.
