Mourners pay respects to former premier Bernard Landry at Quebec legislature
QUEBEC — Mourners in Quebec City braved a fall snowstorm on Saturday to pay their respects to former premier Bernard Landry as his body in lay in state at the provincial legislature.
By 1 p.m., some 400 citizens and dignitaries had already stopped by to express their condolences to the family of the former Parti Quebecois leader, who died Tuesday at the age of 81 of a pulmonary disease.
One by one, the mourners shook hands with Landry’s spouse, Chantal Renaud, who was dressed in black.
In addition to Renaud, Landry leaves behind three children from a previous marriage.
