The process of handing out more than 5,000 medals to British Second World War veterans who helped liberate France is nearly completed, reports the BBC.
On the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, 6 June 2014, President Hollande of France announced that all British soldiers involved were eligible for the Legion d'Honneur.
Now, the French Embassy says there are just 100 more to be given out.
The Légion d'Honneur is France's highest military and civilian honour.
The process has been handled jointly by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the French Embassy, which says 5,500 have been awarded in the last three years.
An embassy spokesman said: "The French authorities attach great importance to ensuring each veteran receives their medal, and have been working hard, in coordination with the British authorities, to ensure that all of the veterans who have already sent their applications to the MoD receive their medal."
French Ambassador to the UK, Sylvie Bermann said: "It's always a great honour to award the Légion d´Honneur to British D-Day veterans. I have had the privilege of presiding over dozens of ceremonies around the country, but each one is very special.
