STORYLINE:
President Emmanuel Macron joined the festivities and rode in the parade when France celebrated its national holiday on Friday with whizzing warplanes and a grand Bastille Day parade in Paris.

This year, the annual events celebrating the start of the French Revolution on July 14, 1789 come in the wake of the nation’s most serious rioting in nearly 20 years, following the fatal police shooting of a teen with North African roots that laid bare anger over entrenched inequality and racial discrimination.

India was the guest of honour at this year’s Bastille Day parade, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi expected to watch in the VIP tribune.

About 240 Indian troops were expected to lead the march down the Champs-Elysees before thousands of French forces, and French-made Indian warplanes will join the traditional flyby that wraps up the event.
