This is live. Click at the left (beginning) of the progress bar to see the video in its entirety. There is video, then a pause until just after the 8:00 minute mark. At least one other break. Move the slider until you see video again.
PS: Looks like Elon is there too.

Looks like she would have had to sit next to Jill Biden and Ashley Biden. Since Jill egregiously defamed Donald, I think Melania has vowed never to speak to her again.

Some fun facts about the Notre Dame cathedral, courtesy of the Associated Press:
-The first stone of Notre Dame was laid in 1163.
-The bell that will be used to signal the start of the service weighs 13 tons.
-The bell has a name – Emmanuel – given to it by King Louis XIV after it was cast in 1683. It rings in F sharp.
-Inside the cathedral, abouty 42,000 square metres of stonework were cleaned during the renovation – an area equivalent to roughly six football pitches.
-Notre Dame’s great organ, which will be heard in public tonight for the first time since the 2019 fire, has 7,952 pipes – the largest is as broad as a human torso; the smallest is no larger than a pen.
-The renovated giant console that controls the great organ has five keyboards of 56 notes each, foot pedals for 30 notes and 115 stops.

Very interesting comparisons to Westminster Abbey as well. However, the Abbey took much longer to complete.
