Behind me now. The road is now open again. It was closed for the kings on arrival at the senate but things are now up and running as that speech has wrapped up. Some of those big key themes around unity, of course, between the uk and france. That shared history, shared history of democracy, and fighting for democracy, and that fight are still ongoing today. Also around Climate Change, one of the kings are big priorities, we were wondering, many speculated perhaps about whether we would hear so much on that issue, given the comments from the uk government yesterday about delaying some of their greener commitments, but no, that was in the speech, as well, as well as Fund References to his late mother and his own personal relationship with france, as well.
