  • French soldiers took part in the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace for the first time.
    The soldiers took part in the London ceremony as part of celebrations for the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale between Britain and France.
    The Entente was a pact, signed in 1904, which solidified an Anglo-French alliance after hundreds of years of opposition.

    I think it is intended to demonstrate entente cordial - to help create good feelings for the pending summer Olympics to be held in Paris.

      Weve held the line at dunkirk while your pm was celebrating his shitshow of a diplomatic failure with the mustached one. And were holding back asylum seekers whilst relinquishing our sovereignty over calais to the UK. If you want, we could get rid of the Eurotrain which provides tons of tourists to the UK, and just let asylum seekers into the uk? How about we provide them with fishing boats since the french cant even fish in british waters but you canned food bingers can access ours without us bringing bout the armada?

      This is not one of our priorities.
      If English-speaking migrants (Afghans, Pakistanis, etc.) want to go to England, that's your problem.
      Either you pay more or you roll up your sleeves to work on your ribs! The French are not volunteers.

      Here, the idiot of the day who posts a comment without any historical knowledge. It was not the soldiers but the politicians who requested the armistice. Fortunately the French army was present in Dunkirk to protect your escape. Fortunately the French army was present in Libya at Bir Hakeim and faced Rommel in order to allow the reconstitution of Montgomery's army. And there are plenty of other examples.
