| Description | Authorities in Spain have begun exhuming Francisco Franco's remains from a state mausoleum, seeking to exorcise the ghost of a dictator whose legacy still divides the country more than four decades after his death.
Amid tight security and in virtual secrecy, his coffin will be taken on Thursday from a vast, imposing basilica in the Valley of the Fallen - which has long attracted both tourists and rightwing sympathisers - and reburied in a private family vault.
His remains will be transported either by helicopter or, if bad weather intervenes, by guarded motorcade. |
