French President Emmanuel Macron commemorated the 80th anniversary of Strasbourg's WWII liberation by attending several ceremonies on Saturday.

At Broglie Square in Strasbourg, he reviewed troops and bowed before a monument to General Philippe Leclerc, who led the Free French troops into the city on November 23, 1944.

Macron also visited the Bruche Valley for a "memorial tour" including the Natzweiler- Struthof concentration camp near Strasbourg, the only concentration camp built by the Nazis in France.

He called for honoring the often overlooked victims of World War II.
