Military band lead procession. Large flower decorated horse drawn vehicles are part of the parade. The coffin passes by. It is carried on a horse drawn gun carriage and is draped in the French flag, the tricolour. The soldiers in the foreground lower their swords as the courtage passes. Various dignitaries walk alongside and behind the coffin. Following them are soldiers who carry what appear to be Monsieur Andre Maginot's decorations and medals. Next in the procession comes a group of men all carrying flags.
