Czechs bid farewell to Vaclav Havel
None
Czechs are bidding an emotional farewell to Vaclav Havel, the dissident playwright who led their peaceful 1989 revolution that brought to an end decades of Communist rule.
Havel's wife Dagmar, family members, friends and leaders from dozens of countries gathered Friday at the towering, gothic St. Vitus Cathedral which overlooks Prague. US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron were among some 1,000 mourners who bowed their heads in front of the coffin draped in the Czech colors.
