Following a private ceremony for the family on Monday morning, a military ceremony led by President Macron took place at the Invalides. The coffin was then driven from the Invalides to the Saint-Sulpice church where the funeral service took place with plenty of foreign dignitaries in attendance. Since Prince Joachim and Princess Marie are currently living in France and Princess Marie is French-born, the couple represented Queen Margrethe at the service. They were welcomed by French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe at the church.

It seems that both Marie and Joachim were wearing their Légion d’Honneur pins.
