Huge crowds attended Angeliki's funeral on Friday in the picturesque port city of Egio, following on foot behind the casket as it wound its way through the narrow streets. Her father Zacharias, a 75-year-old lawyer, had to be supported by relatives, such was his grief, although he used the opportunity to express hope that his countrymen might learn from his daughter's passing. "I can only hope that her death will not be in vain," he said, in comments released yesterday. "I can only hope that it will serve as a lesson to our country so such things may never happen again".
