Some 1,000 UK troops helped to deliver a lavish state visit for US President Donald Trump.
Along with First Lady Melania, the leader was treated to a textbook display of pageantry, with a carriage procession and full sovereign’s escort by members of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
The Grenadier, Scots and Coldstream Guards provided a guard of honour, while the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery and Honourable Artillery Company fired 41-gun salutes. The visitors also attended a beating of the retreat ceremony and state banquet.
