Lay people, politicians and public figures flocked to "The Nativity of the Virgin" church in Rila Monastery to attend a liturgy and a memorial service on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the death of Tsar Boris III. His son Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha attended the service. He was accompanied by his wife Margarita, their son Prince Konstantin-Assen and wife Maria, and their daughter Princess Kalina and husband Kitín Muñoz.
