A French airport will be renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.

The French airport of Le Touquet Paris-Plage will be renamed ‘Elizabeth II International Airport of Le Touquet Paris-Plage’ with King Charles’s blessing.

A statement from the town hall said, “The international airport of Le Touquet Paris-Plage is about to undergo a historic transformation by taking on the name ‘Elizabeth II International Airport of Le Touquet Paris-Plage. This is a tribute to a great Queen and her uncle who had a fondness for France, as well as a recognition of the ‘most British of French resorts.'”

The name change was requested just a few days after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022, but the inaugural date has not been announced.
