The memorial of former President Tassos Papadopoulos took place on Sunday, marking 15 years since his death.

Members of his family, ministers and MPs attended the service, as did individuals from Diko party, which he led before he became president.

Papadopoulos died in 2008 from cancer in his lungs. A year later, thieves dug up his grave and stole his remains, which were eventually returned months later.
