Below are highlights from Barack Obama’s UK visit, including an awkward moment during a banquet at Buckingham Palace.
The incident took place on Tuesday night and apparently caused something of a stir as Obama appeared to rap over the national anthem.
Her Royal Highness appeared a little bemused (0:19 secs) by the President’s efforts to lyrically enhance God Save the Queen, but smiled politely nevertheless.
