Today, @FranceintheUK commemorated the 86th anniversary of General de Gaulle’s Appeal of 18 June 1940. The ceremony at Carlton Gardens honoured the French Resistance and one of the greatest moments of Franco-British solidarity. 🇫🇷🇬🇧

La Flamme de la Résistance française ne doit pas s'éteindre et ne s'éteindra jamais. Le 18 juin 1940, l’appel du Général de Gaulle, refusant la défaite ouvrit le chemin qui mena à la Libération. 86 ans après, nous honorons celles et ceux qui ont choisi le combat
