The French president and his wife are visiting the UK to mark the 70th anniversary of Charles de Gaulle’s radio appeal to German-occupied France.
Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni will visit the BBC radio studio in London where the general famously urged his compatriots to resist Nazi occupation.
Mr Sarkozy, joined by Prince Charles, will lay a wreath on the Mall at the statue of the Queen’s father George VI.
The president and British PM David Cameron will later meet veterans.
