PARIS, Nov. 9-- French President Emmanuel Macron and visiting British Prime Minister Theresa May on Friday paid homage to soldiers who died in the Battle of Somme during World War I in northern France. At the Thiepval memorial standing on high ground overlooking the Somme River, the two leaders deposited together a wreath of poppy and bleuet flowers, national emblems of remembrance in Britain and France. The commemorations were a time to "reflect on our shared history, but also look ahead to our shared future", said May at the memorial, which honors tens of thousands of soldiers killed in the Battle of Somme. |
