Announcement made to public regarding Brigitte Bardot’s funeral

Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Bardot, the iconic cinema star and animal rights activist, passed away on Sunday at her home in southern France at the age of 91.
Her funeral ceremony is scheduled for 7 January at the Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption Catholic Church in Saint-Tropez, with the event broadcast publicly on large screens.
Bardot, who retired from film in 1973, will be privately buried in a cemetery overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, with a public homage for fans afterwards.
The town of Saint-Tropez acknowledged Bardot's profound connection and role as its 'most dazzling ambassador' during her over half-century residency.
Following her acting career, Bardot dedicated her life to animal welfare but also became involved in right-wing politics and was fined multiple times for inciting racial hatred.
