The French President has landed in the UK and been welcomed by the royal family at the start of his State Visit. Macron is giving a speech to the UK parliament during state visit.
Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, are spending the next three days in London and Windsor, the first visit of a European Union leader since the acrimonious Brexit process.
The couple were greeted by Prince William and Kate as they landed at RAF Northolt on Tuesday morning, before travelling to Windsor to meet the King and Queen
The Royal Family is being deployed in force to repair relations with the UK’s closest neighbour, and the government hopes to find ways through some thorny issues, like small boat crossings and the defence of Europe following Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
