The body of Victor Jara was finally laid to rest today 36 years after he was tortured and murdered in the military coup that brought General Pinochet to power.
Jara was a much loved folk singer and composer and also a member of the Chilean Communist Party.
Many thousands of people including the Chilean president and his British born wife Joan attended the funeral.
For a full account of the funeral see the BBCs news website.Pete Seegar said of him 'As long as we can sing his songs ,Victor Jara will never die'.
Victor wrote an unfinished song in the national soccer stadium in Saniago where he was brought with thousands of others to be tortured and shot.What a terrifying place it must have been...he wrote

'There are thousands of us here
In this small part of the city
We are five thousand,
I wonder how many we are in all
In the cities and in the whole country?
Here alone.......
Are ten thousand hands which plant seeds
And make the factories run.
How much humanity,
Exposed to hunger,cold,panic ,pain
Moral pressure ,terror and insanity?...
How hard it is to sing when I must sing of horror....'
Estadio Chile
September 1973
Thousands were tortured, brutalised and killed on that 11th September 1973.Some of the worst horrors were committed in the National Stadium before representatives of the Red Cross or foreign embassies could get in.His last unfinished song was smuggled out by a companero.
Viva Victor Jara!
