Thousands of Czech citizens and world leaders gathered to pay their last respects to Vaclav Havel, the former Czech president, activist, and writer who died Sunday. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, former president Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Prime Minister David Cameron attended the funeral, held in Prague Castle. Havel, a dissident intellectual, was elected president of Czechoslovakia after helping bring down the Communist regime, and then elected president of the Czech Republic twice after the country was divided in two.
