This June 30, Ana Obregón (65) and Alessandro Lequio (60) gave their last goodbye to their son Álex, who died on May 13, after fighting two years against hard cancer. The actress and the Italian aristocrat prepared a mass in the parish of Nuestra Señora de La Moraleja, in Madrid, where many relatives of Álex (including his brothers, cousins and uncles), many childhood friends and various personalities approached from the television. Like Paloma Lago, who was married to Ana's brother, or Boris Izaguirre, who showed her unconditional support for Obregón. "It is very hard, but these kinds of tributes help to make that grief less unfathomable and deep. It has been very beautiful," the TVE presenter told the media.

Around 7:30 p.m., various celebrities and familiar faces began to approach the church. The first to arrive were Terelu Campos and Luis Rollán; then Ana Obregón's best friend, Raúl Castillo, Ramón García and his wife, Alejandra Rubio and the influencer Aless Gibaja; the president of the Po[CENSORED]r Party, Pablo Casado (who came running), the representative Susana Uribarri, the former wife of Pepe Navarro, Eva Zaldívar, the daughter of Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada, Cósima Ramírez, José Manuel Parada and Fiona Ferrer, who showed visibly affected. Although he also had the detail of talking to the media: "What if Ana is going to recover? I think that nobody is recovering from this ...", he said.

Later, 15 minutes before the ceremony began, Ana Obregón arrived at La Moraleja, dressed in a design by Alejandro de Miguel that had the word "Aless" engraved on the neckline, and accompanied by her sister Amalia and Carolina Monje, the bride of Álex, who did not let go of the hand in almost no time. "It is very broken, but it looks very serene," said some of her acquaintances from the church door, visibly moved by the artist's integrity. An attitude that was also maintained by Alessandro Lequio, who arrived just a few minutes from Ana. He did it with his wife, María Palacios, who solemnly walked behind him.

At around 8 pm, finally, the mass began, which lasted for an hour and was marked by important songs, which were personally chosen by Ana, in honor of her son. For example, a song from Ennio Morricone's The Mission, two pieces by Mozart, a theme from the movie Gladiator (Alex's favorite) and the Spanish National Anthem, which was played during the Consecration. Ana also decided to dedicate some words to her son before finishing the ceremony. "He talked about his fighting ability, his strength, his sense of humor and how he fought to the end. And that it is and was a great honor to have been his mother, who is a great privilege and who awaits the moment when I can hug him. , which would be in eternity, "said a friend of Obregón to LOC.

Also, two friends of Álex wanted to share some touching words with their dear colleague. "The first of them has burst into tears, because you couldn't help it, and the other has been more serene. But what friends have read has been very nice," a source told LOC, who also highlighted the splendid decoration of church. "You have to highlight the flowers a lot. From the ground to the middle of the wall it was as if it were a forest of white flowers and, then, on each bench, there was a huge bouquet of flowers, which you had to draw to get in, and another at the end, "said the witness.

After the ceremony, Ana did not approach the press. Although leaving the parish, the actress greeted journalists with a moving gesture: her eyes visibly bright and her hand on her heart. Minutes later, Obregón also greeted many of the attendees and melted into the most moving hug with Raúl Castillo, his friend from the soul. Even so, she never released the hand of Carolina Monje, her daughter-in-law, who was also calm when leaving the temple. Finally, around 9:30 p.m., Ana and Carolina were escorted by security personnel to a car, which was parked inside the compound, and Juan Antonio García Obregón, Ana's brother, chose to speak to the media on behalf of their family.

"It has been a wonderful ceremony. The music has been beautiful, it was full of flowers and all the people have been endearing and with great respect. And we have all always appreciated the warmth of the people we do not know and who have demonstrated at all times They were part of us, and we want to thank them for that, "said the family member, who also assumed" to be very excited and a little devastated. " "Ana has said some very nice words, with her heart in her hand, as a courageous mother, with a son who has fought to the end and is an example for us. I will remember his youth, his desire to live, his business ideas. Because He always seemed like an extraordinary boy to me, "ended García Obregón, who was the last relative to retire from Nuestra Señora de La Moraleja.
