A French teacher who died on February 22 after being stabbed by a student at the school where she worked was buried on Monday. The most moving part of the funeral was the farewell dance her husband performed in front of the coffin.

Several couples who attended the tribute to the 52-year-old Spanish teacher joined the widower in his dance to the rhythm of the French version of Nat King Cole’s song ‘Love’.

On social networks, this dramatic and sincere farewell of the husband to his wife can be seen.

According to French media, the woman was stabbed by a 16-year-old student, who took a knife from her backpack and, after wounding her in the chest, caused cardiac arrest.
