France's Macron inaugurated for 2nd term in office

French President Emmanuel Macron was inaugurated for a second term during a ceremony on Saturday at the Elysee presidential palace. Macron was reelected for five years on April 24 in an election runoff that saw him win over far-right rival Marine Le Pen.

Macron was given the necklace of Grand Master of the Legion of Honor, France's highest distinction, before making a speech. He then went to the gardens of the Elysee palace and listened to 21 cannon shots being fired from the Invalides plaza to mark the event, in line with the tradition. Macron's second term will formally start on May 14.
