The funeral service for former Greek prime minister Constantine Mitsotakis, who passed away in the early hours of Monday morning, will be held on May 31 (Wednesday) at 15:00 at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, with the honours reserved for a serving prime minister, New Democracy (ND) said in a press release on Monday evening.

His remains will lie in state at the Cathedral on the same day, from 07:00 until 13:30. The actual funeral will be held on June 1, at the cemetery of Argoulide in Chania, after a service at the church of Aghia Magdalene at 15:00.
ND said it has opened a book of condolences at the party’s headquarters in Moschato.
