X609-REINO UNIDO MACRON CON STARMER

STORY: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron laid wreaths at the statue of Winston Churchill and the statue of Charles de Gaulle on Tuesday (July 8).

Macron, who enjoys a strong personal relationship with King Charles, was earlier greeted by the royal family, including heir-to-the-throne Prince William and his wife Princess Catherine, before they travelled in horse-drawn carriages for a procession in Windsor.

This official state visit comes 16 years after the late Queen Elizabeth hosted then French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

Macron is due to head back to Windsor Castle for the state dinner, where he and the king will speak before some 150 guests.
