The co-founder of the main French postwar far-right movement Jean-Marie Le Pen is to be buried Saturday at a strictly family-only funeral after his death aged 96 exposed polarising attitudes towards a figure who for decades shook and shocked the country.
The funeral in his hometown of La Trinite-sur-Mer in the Morbihan region of Brittany in western France will take place "in the strictest privacy with family", his relatives said.
