French President Emmanuel Macron is on the Ile-de-Sein in western Brittany to commemorate the historic 18 June 1940 radio broadcast from London by General Charles de Gaulle, who made the "call to resistance and refusal of the spirit of defeat".
Macron's commemoration of the iconic broadcast from across the English Channel in 1940 comes in the midst of a legislative election campaign in which the far right is in a strong position.
