The funeral, which was officiated by the Archbishop of Athens, Hieronymus of Thebes, was attended by the Deputy Prime Minister, Panagiotis Pikrammenos, representing the Hellenic Government. Representatives of numerous Royal Houses were also present, due to his family ties, friendship and his status as a former Head of State.

His Majesty King Constantine of Greece passed away on 10 January at the age of 82 in Athens.
