Troops from France's 1er Regiment de le Garde Republicaine and UK's Number 7 Company Coldstream Guards swapped roles for changing of the guard outside each other's palaces, marking 120 years since the Entente Cordiale. The historic agreement paved the way for collaboration in world wars and continues to underpin the alliance between the two NATO members.
French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the significance of the Entente Cordiale post-Brexit and amidst European tensions, highlighting its role in maintaining the bilateral relationship between France and Britain. Macron and British ambassador Menna Rawlings witnessed the guard change ceremonies at Elysee Palace and Buckingham Palace.
