He left France in shock: since the announcement of the death of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, thousands of anonymous people and personalities paid tribute to him, touched by the death of the one who marked the 13H of TF1 for more than 30 years. Announced immediately after, his funeral will take place first in Paris, during a ceremony under high protection, before burial in the strictest privacy.
And the tribute promises to be moving as revealed by our colleagues from Parisian, since several TF1 personalities are expected, such as Evelyne Dhéliat or Gilles Pélisson who will come to talk about Jean-Pierre Pernaut in front of his children, Julia and Olivier, from a first marriage and Lou and Tom. The latter, born in 2002 and 2003, have for mother the ex-Miss France Nathalie Marquay, who had delivered a worthy and poignant testimony after the death of her husband.
Moreover, the Miss family should be present this Wednesday to support her and pay a last tribute to the one who was so present for them. Jean-Pierre Pernaut was indeed very attached to the competition and received each year all the contenders for the crown before the election, encouraging and congratulating them.
Several times member of the jury, it is even in this way that he had met his wife, when they both had the mission to elect Miss France 2002. Twenty years later, last December, he had was appointed President of the jury and presented the crown to Diane Leyre, who paid him a beautiful tribute on Instagram.
