Family and friends of the former mayor of Wormeldange, Max Hengel, gathered at his funeral on Friday, while well-wishers were able to observe from outside.

The funeral mass was held at Wormeldange church at 3pm on Friday to honour former MP and mayor Max Hengel, who succumbed to illness at the age of 47 recently.

Space was limited inside the church itself, so the service was broadcast outside as well.
