While cameras discreetly looked on in long focus, Anna Chernenko kissed her husband's cheek and repeatedly bowed her head against his shoulder until she had to be drawn away from the casket. Fog horns and sirens keened as the coffin was lowered into a plot on the Kremlin Wall terrace, opposite to where Brezhnev and Andropov are buried.

Someone had removed the heart-shaped bouquet with the letter S (for Solidarity) set in white against a background of red carnations, which had adorned the casket.
