We note that king charles has pretty good french and we look forward to him speaking in english and french at the senate tomorrow. They make their way no under the Arc De Triomphe for the formal part of this ceremony. It will contain seven elements. Wreath laying, flame lighting, a fly past to finish, National Anthems will play and there will be solemn, poignant moments as they remember those who have fallen in world war i and world war ii and a reminder of the shared history and bones between france and the united kingdom. There are fourformer there are four former president s here. God save the king plays. La marseillaise plays. We heard the National Anthems of france and the united kingdom. Band plays.

Cockades, and it is our formal moment to ensure the armed spick and span and then the more formal part of the occasion with Wreath Laying and the lighting of the flame under the Arc De Triomphe. The band is playing in hughes year as we continue to watch hughs ear. We move to a more solemn part of the ceremony under the arch of the Arc De Triomphe, the rekindling of the flame which king charles will be invited to take part in as well as Wreath Laying and then remembering fallen soldiers.
