French airport to be renamed after Queen Elizabeth

A France airport will be renamed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II after receiving permission from the King.

Le Touquet, in northern France, received the blessing from the King on Monday, its town hall said, reports BBC.

Touquet-Paris-Plage airport will be renamed as Elizabeth II Le Touquet-Paris-Plage International Airport.

The town hall said the tribute to the "Great Queen" would also recognise the "most British of French resorts".

It comes after the original proposal was made to the British Crown six days after the death of the Queen on 8 September last year.
