Troops from the UK and France swapped places in Paris and London to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the signing of the Entente Cordiale . The Coldstream Guards from Number 7 Company participated in a changing of the guard ceremony at the Élysée Palace, while the French Republican Guard did the same at Buckingham Palace.
This is the first time a non-Commonwealth country has taken part in the ceremony in London, and the UK has become the first foreign state to guard the French presidential residence. The Entente Cordiale, a series of agreements, aimed to improve diplomatic relations between the UK and France and settle colonial disputes. It also paved the way for cooperation against Germany before World War One.
