Caption: Macron Awards Starmer France's Légion d’Honneur. French President Emmanuel Macron has awarded U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer the Légion d’honneur in recognition of his contribution to European security. Macron presented France's prestigious honor during a meeting in Paris at the Coalition of the Willing summit focused on support for Ukraine. The French president praised Starmer's "historic role" in leading the coalition and thanked him for his commitment to Europe's security and the U.K.-France relationship. Macron also described Starmer as a reliable and trusted partner, highlighting their close cooperation during his time in office. The visit marked one of Starmer's final international engagements before stepping down as prime minister. Starmer has been credited with rebuilding relations with European allies, particularly France and Germany, while maintaining support for Ukraine. Incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to strengthen ties with Europe but has yet to outline how he will address unresolved issues with the EU. Starmer is the first British prime minister to receive the Légion d’honneur, while Winston Churchill remains the only other British leader honored by France.
