Summary edit

Description
English: President Macron visited London to mark 80 years since De Gaulle’s historic broadcast from London to Occupied France and the UK Armed Forces were proud to host the French President to the city.

On behalf of Her Majesty’s Government, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall received The President of the French Republic at Clarence House to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of General de Gaulle’s ‘Appel’ on 18th June 1940.

The Armed Forces led a small ceremony near Charles De Gaulle’s headquarters in London at Carlton Gardens, during which President Macron awarded the Legion d’honneur to the city of London.

Piper Maj Stephen Bennett led the President and HRH Prince Chares to the symbolic statue of Charles De Gaulle at Carlton Gardens to the historic Scots Guards tune of ‘The Sound of Pipes’.

A British Army bugler played The Last Post and the Reveille after a minute’s silence to remember the sacrifices of World War Two.
