The Prince Of Wales And The Duchess of Cornwall Receive President Macron To Commemorate The Appeal of The 18th June Speech By Charles De Gaulle

LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 18: Wreaths lie at the foot of a statue of Charles de Gaulle after a ceremony at Carlton Gardens during a visit by French president Emmanuel Macron to commemorate the 80th anniversary of General de Gaulle’s 'Appel' speech on June 18, 2020 in London, England. L'Appel du 18 Juin (The Appeal of 18 June) was the speech made by Charles de Gaulle to the French in 1940 and broadcast in London by the BBC. It called for the Free French Forces to fight against German occupation. The appeal is often considered to be the origin of the French Resistance in World War II. President Macron is the first foreign dignitary to visit the UK since the coronavirus lockdown began. (Photo by Jonathan Brady - WPA Pool/Getty Images)
