Tomorrow a kind of state funeral will take place in this village for Willy Naessens: “What he has done for Elsegem, you can’t list that”

A kind of state funeral will take place tomorrow in Elsegem, a small village in the Flemish Ardennes, part of Wortegem-Petegem. Thousands of people say goodbye to Willy Naessens, the large industrialist who has always stayed a boy from Elsegem. “Nobody here had ever dared to predict his success.”
