There’s also a tribute programme on Fr24 and a good, but slightly older documentary available on Arte.

Having seen both, I have to ask, “Did JB invent breakdancing?”

JB was amazing acc to my great-grandmother (her almost exact contemporary) who met her quite a few times.

The Pantheon event was remarkably well done. But, Joséphine is remaining in Monaco where she is buried …

The coffin entering the Panthéon is symbolic … and in JB’s case contained handfuls of earth from the places of greatest significance to her and her life.

And there are other coffins in the Panthéon which do not contain the deceased…

I think it’s lovely that JB is staying in Monaco, alongside her last husband and one of her children…
