José Antonio Primo de Rivera, eldest son of dictator Miguel, founded and directed the Spanish Phalanx. When the Spanish Civil War broke out, he was arrested and shot by insurrection against the government. Francoism and the extreme right have used their image as martyrs of electoral propaganda.
José Antonio Primo de Rivera's esquela says that on November 20, at 20:00 in the headquarters of the Brotherhood of the Old Guard, they will pray for the "eternal rest" of the founder of the Phalanx. In addition, on Friday, at 21:00, he will be honored in Madrid and will take the crown to the Valley of the Fallen.

Franco's esquela indicates that on 20 November at 20:00 hours there will be a funeral in his memory in a Madrid church.
