Des employés recouvrent du drapeau occitan la dépouille de Mgr Arthur-Richard Dillon, dernier archevêque primat de Narbonne, président-né des Etats du Languedoc avant la Révolution française, à son arrivée, venant de Londres, à Port-la-Nouvelle le 16 mars 2007, à bord de la péniche qui doit la mener à Narbonne où il sera inhumé le 16 mars prochain. L'archevêque d'origine irlandaise, né à Saint-Germain-en-Laye en 1721 était mort en exil à Londres en 1806. Il avait été enterré dans le quartier de St Pancras à Londres où sa tombe a été mise au jour en 2004 à l'occasion de la construction de la nouvelle gare Eurostar.
Employees cover the remains of Arthur Richard Dillon, Archbishop of Narbonne and primate of Languedoc before the French Revolution, who died in London in 1806, with the Occitan flag on a barge on the Robinne canal at Port-la-Nouvelle, acompanied by the consuls of Narbonne where he will be buried. The archbishop had been buried in St Pancras cemetery, where many French emigres were also buried. The construction of the new Eurostar railway station necessitated a disturbance of the cemetery, where the remains were found.
