Original Toronto Star caption: Silent and Grieving; mourners watch Pierre Laporte's funeral cortege leave Notre Dame Church for Cote des Neiges Cemetery; Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau unnouced in the crowd. Most of the officials at the funeral mass stayed away from the burial rite because police believe the route to the grave would have been too difficult to guard against terrorists.
