Quang Binh residents pay final tribute to General Giap
(VOV) -Defying heavy rain, thousands of locals in General Vo Nguyen Giap’s home province of Quang Binh have queued to offer their final farewells to the national hero and talented leader.
Tropical storm Nari’s torrential rain did not deter residents from all walks of life from flocking to the funeral service at the Quang Binh Provincial People’s Committee’s meeting hall on October 12. Some photos taken in Quang Binh:
