TROOPS from both nations enjoyed rendez-vous in Paris and London yesterday to mark 120 years since the Entente Cordiale was signed.
French soldiers took part in the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, while their UK counterparts did the same at the Elysee Palace.
Crowds gathered to celebrate the furthering of friendly relations following the 1904 agreements.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh stood in for King Charles, who is continuing his cancer treatment, and Queen Camilla.
Edward and Sophie inspected 32 members of the 1st and 2nd Infantry regiments of the Garde Republicaine and 40 guardsmen from F Company Scots Guards at Buckingham Palace.
The royals were joined by General Sir Patrick Sanders, UK Chief of General Staff; the French chief of the army staff, General Pierre Schill, and France's ambassador to the UK, Helene Duchene.
Members of the Gendarmerie Garde Republicaine also marched behind the British Army's Band of the Grenadier Guards.
The event was the first time a non-Commonwealth country has taken part in the Changing of the Guard ceremony.
