    [01] Missing - Funeral

    Nicosia, Nov 14 (CNA) -- The atmosphere was sombre and the mood laden with feelings of pride and sorrow among the family of Zenon Zenonos as well as many bystanders, who gathered at the small church for a last farewell to the 16-year-old, killed during the Turkish invasion and until recently listed as missing.

    "At long last, his mother can be at ease with herself now that she has learnt what has become of her son," one lady whispered to her friend nearby.
