France's most famous Nazi-hunting couple, Serge Klarsfeld and his wife Beate (be art ay), have received top honours from President Emmanuel Macron.

Serge Klarsfeld, 83, received France's highest award, the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, while Beate (be art ay), 79, received the National Order of Merit.

The pair began their mission to catch Nazis and bring them to justice after they married in the 1960s and even managed to find notorious war criminal Klaus Barbie, a former officer of Nazi Germany’s secret police.
