Guy Lafleur, a Montreal Canadiens legend, was honoured for his life and illustrious career at a national funeral where hockey greats and family members paid homage to the generosity, ambition and passion he embodied until the day he died.
A crowd, with no shortage of Lafleur’s emblematic #10 jerseys, gathered outside the Mary Queen of the World Cathedral. They lined up along René-Lévesque Boulevard in the city’s downtown core, where the ceremony began at 11 a.m.
Fans chanted “Guy, Guy, Guy” as the procession made its way from the Bell Centre, with a line of cars flanked by police officers. Lafleur’s casket, draped in a Canadiens flag, was carefully brought up the steps for a last goodbye.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among those in attendance at the hockey legend's public memorial service.
The five-time Stanley Cup winner died from lung cancer on April 22 at the age of 70.
