Spanish Mass marks Franco death

Thousands of people have attended a Mass at the burial site of Spanish dictator General Francisco Franco to mark the 30th anniversary of his death.

They packed the basilica of Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caidos, in mountains 50km (30 miles) north of Madrid.

His daughter Carmen Franco Polo was among the mourners, many of whom stayed on after the Roman Catholic service to chant fascist songs, one witness said.

Right and left-wing activists took part in marches on the anniversary's eve.

Some 2,000 anti-fascists marched to the heart of Madrid on Saturday, to lay wreaths to the victims of Francoism.

3. I'm not so sure

I hear he's at that mountain retreat in Colorado with Elvis, JFK and Tupac. At least I think that's what the Weekly World News reported a few years ago.
