Brigitte Bardot's funeral divides French politics: Le Pen to attend, Macron sits out

France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen will attend the screen legend Brigitte Bardot's funeral next week, but President Emmanuel Macron will not, their teams said on Tuesday. In her later years, Bardot was an outspoken supporter of the far right and was convicted in court for hate speech, stirring debate over whether or not France should give her the honour of a national farewell ceremony.
