To mark a year since his funeral
Cubans march in memory of Castro
President Raul Castro.
Havana - Al Maghrib Today
Tens of thousands of Cubans held up portraits of Fidel Castro and waved flags as they marched to the revolutionary leader's tomb on Monday to mark a year since his funeral.
State television said 250,000 schoolchildren, students and workers -- many of them chanting "I am Fidel" -- marched from the center of Santiago de Cuba to the eastern city's Santa Ifigenia cemetery where Castro's ashes are interred.
In a ceremony earlier Monday, President Raul Castro, accompanied by vice president and likely successor Miguel Diaz-Canel, laid a single white rose in front of the white granite boulder of his tomb.
The ceremonies wrapped up nine days of sober commemoration of the first anniversary of Castro's death.
His death aged 90 on November 25 last year was followed by nine days of national mourning during which his ashes passed through the country as millions of Cubans lined the roads.
Raul Castro, 86, is due to step down next year, bringing to an end the Castro brothers' six decades of power in the Caribbean country.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
