Everyone then made for Kalkan First School, where a number of children read poems and other tributes to Atatürk. The children lined up to pay their respects and were remarkably well behaved throughout the readings. The children who read their pieces out loud to the rest of the school were passionate in their delivery. By around 10am events drew to a close and people went inside the school for refreshments. Atatürk died at 9.05am on 10th November 1938 in the Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul. Atatürk’s final resting place is in his mausoleum, at Anıtkabir, in Ankara.
