telegraph - Helmut Kohl hailed as the 'architect of the world as we know it' at EU funeral .(tele' paper)
coffin in the middle of debate chamber, draped in EU flag. Germany is Europe theme.
then coffin taken to real funeral memorial - different flag draped over coffin, federalist? flag. super weird.
seemed very divisive ? US presidents never liked the EU? they saw it as a counter government threatening USA interests, but Clinton gives it the full spin.
