Friends and admirers including the actor Jean-Paul Rouve arrive to pay a last homage to Claude Brasseur during a ceremony at the Saint-Roch church in Paris, the chaplaincy for performing artists. Brasseur, one of France's most beloved character actors, died on December 22 aged 84. He lived as colourful a life off-screen as on it as a daredevil parachutist, Olympic bobsledder and Paris-Dakar rally champion. With his rugged physique and dark, lively gaze, he took on many tough guy roles, but was equally celebrated for comic appearances including playing Sophie Marceau's father in "The Party" and his brilliant turn as "king of the campsite" Jacky Pic in the "Camping" films.
