Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel was among hundreds who paid tribute to the revolutionary fighter Camilo Cienfuegos 63 years after a plane he was travelling on went missing over the sea.
Diaz-Canel and scores of other Cubans threw flowers into the sea in Havana on Friday to commemorate the Cuban guerrilla fighter who was held in high regard both by the Cuban leader Fidel Castro and the Argentine guerrilla, Ernesto Che Guevara.
“This event is held because every year we mark a new anniversary of the physical disappearance of this hero and here we are the young people and the Cuban people to toss flowers to Camilo,” said an attendee.
