Chirac. matched

XVI and Marie Antoinette have gone to Reims to be anointed with the holy oil and to be crowned. matched

They're returning from their coronation and the boys of the Collège Louis-le-Grand have been preparing what sounds like an unbelievably dull reception with lots of verse declamation in Latin. matched

Robespierre, as the prize student, has been entrusted with the task of giving them a ceremonial speech of welcome. matched

And he has to wait outside for the royal coach to arrive. matched

And it's bucketing down with rain. matched

And he's kneeling, waiting for them to arrive. matched

And the coach lumbers up. matched

Because it's raining, the royal couple don't get out of the coach. matched

They just sit in the coach and kind of smile politely. matched

They listen to this bedraggled schoolboy give what I'm sure is very, very dull talk. matched

And when it's delivered, they acknowledge the speech with kind of polite smiles. matched

And then, you know, they give a signal and the carriage clatters off and that's the end of it. matched
