Fanfare and flyovers as France celebrates Bastille Day
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.
