Indeed, on the square it was possible to find veiled Sunni Muslim women from Tripoli, Shiites from scattered points around the country, Druse and Maronite Christians.
There was a distinctly different dress code among the demonstrators as well, with some women sporting bare midriffs and pierced belly buttons.
A few of the banners cemented the theme of unity by displaying both a cross and a crescent.
Some of the banners displayed a bit of wit: “Long Live the Syrians in Syria,” one said.
More than a few participants remarked that the late prime minister was able to unify far more people in death than he had been in life.
A huge banner hung on the giant mosque right above the burial spot. “Your absence enhances your presence” it said in black letters on a blue background.
The demonstrators have adopted blue as the color demanding the truth from the investigation into Mr. Hariri’s assassination and two long blue scarves were draped around the neck of the two main figures in the famous statue on Martyrs squre, the blue cloth occasionally lifting in the slight breeze under sunny skies.
