A military parade has marched through the streets of Paris below clouds of red, white and blue smoke left by planes in the sky as part of Bastille Day celebrations.
Held each year on 14 July, the national holiday marks the storming of the Bastille fortress in 1789, a key event from the French Revolution.
President Emmanuel Macron was joined by European leaders, including the UK’s Sir Keir Starmer and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, as soldiers from Ukraine and its ‘Coalition of the Willing’ allies passed by.
The BBC’s James Waterhouse reports on the day’s celebrations.
Producer: Marianne Baisnée.

Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, after “new information and evidence has come to light”, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) has said.
“The police are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack. I will be updating the House further this afternoon,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said.
A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested “on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”, CTPSE said.
Police said the “dynamic and complex investigation” had led to the new arrest.
On Thursday, 78-year-old Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.

Three members of his government, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, have resigned, whilst scores of Labour MPs are calling for him to quit following a disastrous set of elections for the party last week.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is among a number of cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to set out a departure timetable.
Sir Keir said he does not intend to quit and threw down the gauntlet to potential rivals to formally challenge him as Labour leader.
No MP has yet launched a formal bid to challenge him, which requires the backing of 81 colleagues or 20% of Labour MPs, according to party rules.

i am so cross you brought that idiot markle into it, she certainly did not reflect him, and now people are mistelling the royal family story, no need for that dreadful actress to be mentioned for her 4 minutes a week taking her clothes off, doubt he was that proud of her, you ruined wendell's story mentioning that awful woman

Keep her there! Any BBC woketard should not be allowed back into the country after the BBC's propaganda for enemy forces. The sooner we shut down the fake news BBC, the better.

But, this lady is really there to talk about Meghan of suits, what is it about all of these special groups of white women being so interesting in Meghan Markle. What has she been but lovable to all people, especially with white women, perhaps she see her own white blood through them.

Wendel played a well-known, successful attorney and the father to Rachel Zane character (Meghan Markel) in that TV drama, Suits. Meghan Markle accepted the role of Rachel Zane, knowing that her character is African American. Yes, she always knew she Black first and biracial second.

Wow, I dozed off watching podcasts and woke up to this inspiring interview. I'm happy to meet, my NOLA son, Wendell here.
Unfortunately, I never heard of him up to the point that I relocated from NOLA to NYC. I'm on alert now.
The Katrina discussion is still chilling. I shared the same sentiments… not leaving. Daddy was called, he cried about the possibility of losing me, so I evacuated.
Thank you for this Edification.
