A member of the honour guard collapsed on Wednesday (November 11) as Slovak President Peter Pellegrini arrived at the Elysee Palace in Paris for a visit.

Staff members and French President Emmanuel Macron walked toward the guard, and staff then carried him away. Macron then greeted Pellegrini.

The guard's condition and the reason for his collapse are not known, according to Slovak broadcaster TV JOJ, which filmed the scene.
