#French and #British troops swapped places in the ‘Changing of the Guard’ in #London and #Paris to mark the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale.
The series of agreements marked the end of almost a thousand years of intermittent conflict between the two colonial nations.
British soldiers took part in celebrations at the Elysee Palace in #Paris and their French counterparts did the same at Buckingham Palace to commemorate the moment.
In 1960 the UN declared colonial rule a violation of human rights.
