Boris Johnson today paid tribute to NATO on the military alliance’s 73rd anniversary.
The Prime Minister, who is gearing up for a coalition summit in Madrid in June while war rages in NATO neighbour Ukraine, hailed the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, which was launched in April 1949.
Revealing the 30-member alliance’s flag will fly above Downing Street, the Conservative leader said: “Seventy-three years ago today, the founding members of NATO came together, united loosely by geography but bound more tightly by a shared belief in freedom and sovereignty.
