- Story Text: French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Theresa May visited the World War One French-British memorial of Thiepval in northern France on Friday (November 9).
They laid a wreath combining poppies and le bleuet, the two national emblems of remembrance, made for the occasion.
Thiepval's memorial stands on high ground overlooking the Somme River, where some of the heaviest fighting of World War One took place. It commemorates more than 72,000 British and South African soldiers who died and have no known grave. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
