Hundreds of people have lined up in front of the Invalides monument in Paris to pay public tribute to former French President Jacques Chirac, who died Thursday at 86.
Chirac was lying in state Sunday afternoon inside the Invalides monument in Paris, where France honors its heroes, after he died Thursday.
A booklet prepared by Chirac's family was handed to those who came to the Invalides. Titled"Chirac in his own words", it includes some quotes evoking key moments of Chirac's presidency, like when he defiantly opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, saying:"War is always the worst of all solutions."Remy Clovel came from Paris' western suburb of Saint-Germain-en-Laye to pay his respects.
Nicole Pats from Boulogne-Billancourt, west of Paris, has recalled Chirac as"a simple man." ''He watched you, smiled at you and he loved you. We had the impression to his family," she said.
