Her funeral was held on January 3rd, 2000. There was also a Memorial Service, held on January 13th.

Below, mixed pictures from the Funeral and the Service, all from Corbis

I knew some of this photo but not quiet all.

I didn't remember how sad was the King. To see this man crying is something very moving.

The Queen is also totally sad. For all, it's obvious that tha death of the Queen Maria de Las Mercedes is absolutly a great sorrow.

I believe Queen Beatrix was the only reigning Sovereign (outside Spain) to attend the funeral of the Countess:
