Rorate Caeli has a post with a really quite splendid, and beautiful, set of photographs of a Solemn Requiem Mass celebrated last year on 220th anniversary of his death for King Louis XVI in the church of St Eugene in the Archdiocese of Paris.
The slide show from Flickr on the blog begins part way through the Mass, but if you play it through it comes to what is, I assume, the intended beginning, with pictures of a cataphalque bearing a crown and the riband of the Order of the Holy Ghost. The series continues through the traditional liturgy to the absolutions at the cataphalque and a group image of the altar party. It can be seen at This is the Mass.
As I commented recently at the beginning of my post Commemorating King Louis XVI French Royalism displays a vitality of which few in this country seem to be aware.
