A memorial service for Greece’s former and last monarch, Constantine II, was held at the Athens Metropolitan Cathedral on Saturday, led by Archbishop of Athens & All Greece Hieronymos, in the presence of his family and some 250 guests, ANA reports.
Following the memorial service, family and guests were expected to attend a lunch gathering at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
Another church service and the unveiling of Constantine’s tomb will take place on Sunday, at the former royal estate of Tatoi on the outskirts of Athens, where his body is buried in the family’s cemetery, alongside his ancestors.
