The Royal British Legion 

Paris Branch 

Event: Bennecourt 2009 & Feb 2010

 The town of Bennecourt is twinned with Coldstream in Scotland.

M. Didier Dumont, Mayor of Bennecourt, invited the RBL Paris Branch (of which he is a member) to participate in this event in February, on the date of the foundation of the Coldstream Guards by Col Monck in 1659 when the decision was made to restore the monarchy.

The Guardsmen in the Bennecourt photographs were part of the contingent who marched from Coldstream to London this year.

A further event is planned for June 2010
