Pic: The incredibly huge carriage used in the 2nd funeral of Napoleon!

(005875.811-:E-000062.43:N-AC:R-SU:C-30:V)   

[I've been doing a bit of reading about Napoleon, especially the events prior to his death. I was astounded to discover that Napoleon was buried twice. Once on St Helena where he died. But in 1840, they took his body to France and gave him a new funeral and built a tomb for him – a fine tomb that even Hitler visited. But I was astounded by the carriage they built which seems to have had his casket on top. It seems to have been about 4 stories tall and pulled by horses! I was astounded by that. Jan]
