After the mass , the statue of Saint Pierre will be put on a "pointu ".
Then , all the boats will sail as a parade out of the harbour.
Flowers will be sent on the waves,
as a tribute to the lost ones .
During the mass , the "pointus" are waiting in the harbour.

You have fine documentary photos of this traditional event. I love seeing the photo of your Grandfather on his boat.
Magnifique!
So many interesting and wonderful traditions in Nice.
I was right about the parade. :-)
These are fantastic glimpses of life.
