Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapatero, Crown Prince Felipe and his wife
|
|
Letizia attended the service held in a large hangar used for agricultural
|
|
fairs on the outskirts of the stricken town in the Murcia region of
|
|
southeastern Spain.
|
|
|
|
Several thousand townsfolk joined the families of four of the victims killed
|
|
by falling masonry when an earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale
|
|
struck Lorca on Wednesday evening.
|
|
|
|
The families of the other five dead chose instead to hold private funerals.
|
|
|
|
The funeral service, led by the Bishop of Cartagena and televised live to the
|
|
nation, took place in the Recinto Ferial because tremor damage had left all
|
|
the town's churches too unsafe to enter.
|
|
|
|
Ahead of the funeral the Spanish premier toured the worst affected zones of
|
|
the town to survey the damage.

Pledging to give local authorities all the support and financial aid needed,
|
|
he said: "The earthquake was hard and strong. But this country is stronger.
|
|
Its desire for solidarity and reconstruction are stronger."
