Entente Cordiale: From a ‘long historical perspective’, 120-year Franco-British alliance is unique [Video]

French troops joined their British counterparts in the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony outside Buckingham Palace for the first time Monday, marching together in a display of solidarity between Britain and France amid the war in Ukraine. At a parallel ceremony in Paris, British soldiers wearing tall bearskin hats took part in an unprecedented joint military parade in front of the presidential Elysée Palace, as the French army choir sang the two national anthems, “God Save the King” and “La Marseillaise.” The twin events were to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale, the 1904 diplomatic agreement between Britain and France that paved the way for their collaboration in both World War I and World War II. As British and French troops commemorate this exceptional historic event, marching together in the first-ever joint parades in London and Paris, FRANCE 24’s Delano D’Souza is joined by Laura Carter, Lecturer in Modern British History at Université Paris Cité.🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen🔴 LIVE – Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBenFollow us on X (Twitter): https://f24.my/XenBrowse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGenDiscover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKenGet the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
