Hear hear.
I'm sure President Macron will honour Lt Col Arnaud Beltrame with a posthumous award of the
Légion d'Honneur (there are 5 levels). It may be awarded to military personnel posthumously (unlike civilians) and I expect that Lt Col Beltrame will be honoured with a State funeral at
Les Invalides.
