Two guards pass out next to Macron.
Both men passed out during a ceremony at the Elysee Palace, where French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed his Slovak counterpart, Peter Pellegrini, who had arrived in Paris for an official visit.
One of the soldiers who was standing in the building suddenly lost his balance, dropped his saber and collapsed to the ground. The French president and the palace staff rushed to help him.
It is reported that a few seconds later, a second guard also fell ill and fainted. The two servants were taken away by a team from the President's house.
