Britain's Royal Family won't attend D-Day ceremonies cbc.ca/world/story/2009/05/29/normandy-queen-france029.html
No members of Britain's Royal Family will attend ceremonies marking the 65th anniversary of D-Day after France failed to invite Queen Elizabeth, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
"We have not received an invitation to attend a D-Day ceremony, and therefore the Queen and senior members of the Royal Family will not be attending the commemorations next weekend," said a statement from Buckingham Palace spokesman Nick Loughran on Thursday.
I keep telling it to myself, he is only 1 Frenchman, he was elected before this happened! If they re-elect him THEN I am gonna Not-like the French and France!
Mistake! This will never be an issue of the French election campaign and you cannot expect otherwise. From the French perspective there is many much more important issues and this is completely understandable. I seriously doubt whether most of French voters even learn about this event.
Still, it's up to them to know it, choose why and who they vote for. If they vote for him again I won't see French colture as favoritable at all. I WILL delete the French hymn from my Ipod!
Yepp, (Iphone's Ipod) I listen to it, when I play a Russian game called WW1. When im France it just make it a perfect scene when hundreds of Frenchmen marches into the mashine gunfire.
Sometimes I also listen to it when not playing it, it's a very bloody anthem! "Let our fields turn red" or something, it's from the times of revolution I think. The Russian is also not bad but becaouse of Putin I haven't got it. (yet) I have hope for them!
They speak of not stopping for anything to protect their liberty, still it has not much with todays France, so it's like ironic :)
Btw just becaouse I listen to something doesn't mean I am in the same position of thoose who are sung about or who made it. Sometimes it's just good music, for instance I like parade music and heck even some nazi marches are OK. But I do still not support Nazists :P
Poles, don`t trust to France. That`s what Serbian can say to you. France betrayed Racowie!
Serbs were loyal to alliance with France but, France sold us to her islamic partners and to Germany
same as Britain (England), today`s France represent real Islamic bastion in Europe. They weakening Slavic south in order to strenghten Islam. That way on the long run, France attacking Polish vital interests.
Don`t trust to France Poles my brothers, if you knows for Christ. France failed and togather with mujaheedines killing Serbian children.
Glory to land of Poles, pride of Sarmatia!
Pozdrav Ledjani (Poljaci)!
[Salute Poles!] - on archaic Serbian, as Serbs in time (and in ancient time) of Racowie used to call Poles, their brothers from North.
Sarkozy has faikled to invited Poland's head of state to this year's' Normandy (D-Day) landing celebration
Asked to comment on the issue, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that a lack of invitation for the Polish president is "regrettable" , adding that relations between Polish and French presidents have not been too good since President Kaczynski refused to sign the Lisbon Treaty following the Irish referendum last year.
"President Sarkozy made it clear that he treated President Kaczyñski's refusal to ratify the Treaty as a matter of personal concern to him," Tusk said.
