Original Toronto Star caption: Prime minister Pierre Trudeau and Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa; surrounded by plainclothes security men; leave Notre Dame Church in Montreal after funeral services for Pierre Laporte. Trudeau flew from Ottawa to Montreal by helicopter; escorted by other helicopters; and landed at city hall; just two blocks form the church. Security measures were strict; prompted by police concern that the Front de Liberation du Quebec might attack official mourners.
