Britain's Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall joined her husband Prince Charles, French president Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni at a Remembrance day memorial service in France yesterday.
The royal couple were greeted like old friends when they arrived at the Elysee Palace ahead of the Armistice Day commemorations - which this year marked the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War - with the president bending to kiss Camilla on the hand.
