President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were honored at a state dinner in Paris at the Elysee Presidential Palace on Saturday, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day two days earlier and the strength of the countries’ long alliance.

“France is our first ally and that is not insignificant,” Biden said during toasts at the start of the dinner. Macron commented on the close relationship between the US and France and noted that he and Biden stood side by side two days ago, as soldiers did 80 years ago on D-Day.

Notable guests for Saturday’s state dinner include actress Salma Hayek, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former tennis player John McEnroe and his wife, US singer Patty Smyth. Singer Pharrell Williams is scheduled to perform for attendees.
