French and British troops honored the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale with joint guard ceremonies at the Elysée Palace and Buckingham Palace.

The ceremonies underscored the enduring alliance and partnership between France and the UK, highlighting their commitment to tackling global challenges together.

The event was attended by French President Macron and British ambassador Rawlings, with the French army choir performing both nations' anthems.

Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie represented the British royal family as King Charles III received cancer treatment.

President Macron has made the guard exchange at the Elysée Palace a public event, occurring monthly to foster openness.

The guard ceremonies are part of broader commemorations of the historical military and diplomatic cooperation between the two countries, including tributes to Allied veterans in Normandy.
