The casket carrying the former and last king of Greece has emerged from Athens’ metropolitan cathedral after a funeral service attended by royalty from across Europe.
A crowd of thousands chanted “Long live the king” and “Constantine, Constantine” on Monday as the funeral procession passed by.
A 1974 referendum abolished Greece’s monarchy, and Constantine spent decades in exile before returning to his home country.
He is to be buried in Tatoi, the site a former royal estate north of Athens next to where his parents and ancestors are buried.
A limited lying-in state was allowed from inside a chapel next to the cathedral that hosted the former king's funeral, and thousands of people came.

Lovely the respect and love the Greeks show for their returning princess, Queen Sofia, more than her disgraceful husband has shown her

Sono dispiaciuta e sorpresa che il Re Carlo ed il Principe William non abbiano partecipato al funerale di Re Costantino….senza nulla togliere alla Principessa Anna…❤

Greek Translation - Ιστορικό γεγονός: Ο Κωνσταντίνος Β' ήταν ικανός αθλητής. Το 1958, ο βασιλιάς Παύλος έδωσε στον γιο του ένα ιστιοπλοϊκό σκάφος κλάσης Lightning για τα Χριστούγεννα. Στη συνέχεια, ο διάδοχος Κωνσταντίνος περνούσε τον περισσότερο ελεύθερο χρόνο του προπονούμενος με το σκάφος στον Σαρωνικό. Μετά από λίγους μήνες, το Ελληνικό Ναυτικό έδωσε στον πρίγκιπα ένα ιστιοπλοϊκό σκάφος κλάσης Dragon, με το οποίο αποφάσισε να συμμετάσχει στους Θερινούς Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες του 1960 στη Ρώμη. Στην έναρξη των Αγώνων της Ρώμης ήταν ο σημαιοφόρος της ελληνικής ομάδας. Κέρδισε ένα χρυσό Ολυμπιακό μετάλλιο στην Ιστιοπλοΐα (κατηγορία Dragon), το οποίο ήταν το πρώτο ελληνικό χρυσό μετάλλιο στην ιστιοπλοΐα μετά τους Θερινούς Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες της Στοκχόλμης 1912. Ο Κωνσταντίνος ήταν ο τιμονιέρης του σκάφους «Νηρεύς» και τα άλλα μέλη της ομάδας ήταν ο Οδυσσέας Εσκιτζόγλου και ο Γεώργιος Ζαΐμης. English Translation - Historical Fact: Constantine II was an able sportsman. In 1958, King Paul gave his son a Lightning class sailing boat for Christmas. Subsequently, Crown Prince Constantine spent most of his free time training with the boat on the Saronic Gulf. After a few months, the Greek Navy gave the prince a Dragon class sailing boat, with which he decided to participate in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. At the opening of the Games in Rome, he was the flag bearer for the Greek team. He won an Olympic gold medal in Sailing (Dragon class), which was the first Greek gold medal in sailing since the Stockholm 1912 Summer Olympics. Constantine was the helmsman of the boat "Nireus" and the other members of the team were Odysseus Eskitzoglou and Georgios Zaimis.

Sono Italiana , di Napoli. Confermo tutto. Le gare veliche si tenbero nel golfo di Napoli. I duchi Serra di Cassano tennero nel loro splendido palazzo settecentesco, capolavoro del grande architetto barocco, Ferdinando Sanfelice , un sontuoso ricevimento, passato nella storia, come " il ballo dei Re". Infatti furono invitati le teste coronate d'Europa ( tra cui la Regina Federica di Grecia, il cui figlio, principe ereditario Costantino di Grecia, aveva vinto la gara velica)ed i più bei nomi dell'alta aristocrazia ed alta borghesia europee.

[@mdelc917]

Con gran dignidad! Y salió de donde no debía estar. No lo merece. Los que lo han enviado han perjudicado más a España con su mal gobierno, ellos deberían ser exiliados. A Rusia, o Afganistán, o Irán, o ....

Я общался с Королём Константином всего раз. Он мне сказал, что его про бабушка была Великая Княгиня Ольга. " Так значит, Вы тоже не много русский? ", заметил я. О, да. Ответил он. У него был приятный низкий голос.
