Flashback to this exciting week dedicated to the celebrations of #EntenteCordiale120. A historic swapping of the guard between the Elysée Palace and Buckingham Palace. Very moving to hear “God Save the King” in Paris and “La Marseillaise” in London.
So proud of the Garde républicaine changing the guard at Buckingham Palace this morning! They were inspected by TRH the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, @AmbDuchene, @ArmyCGS and @CEMAT_FR And then warmly welcomed to Wellington Barracks. Many thanks to the @Householddiv for…

We’re celebrating the #EntenteCordiale120. Below, the 🇫🇷 Embassy in 1904, led by Amb. Cambon, who signed the agreements. 120 years later, @FranceintheUK, led by @AmbDuchene. On this #InternationalWomensDay, #feministdiplomacy has progressed, but there’s still further to go.

Great to see recognition of a golden era in Irish writing in @TheBookerPrizes. Delighted, in particular, for Paul Murray - ‘The Bee Sting’ is fabulous. Latest in a series of tragic, comic and beautiful novels, all of his characters are bathed in light and warmth.
‘Together these works showcase the breadth of what world literature can do, while gesturing at the unease of our moment.’ We are delighted to reveal the #BookerPrize2023 shortlist. Huge congratulations to all six authors. Find out more: thebookerprizes.com/bp2023
