Donald Trump has arrived in the United Kingdom, not since Ronald Reagan in 1982,
as the US President stayed overnight in Windsor Castle,
the place Britain's royal family called home, and that was a private visit.
President Trump has been invited to the UK for a state visit an unprecedented second time.
His first was in 2019.
This is policy made more palatable by decorating it with pageantry.
It is a flavour of how previous presidents presented their UK visits.
Heathrow, the presidential Boeing jet, eased into position.
On board was one of the most powerful men in the world making a goodwill visit.
President Nixon, the new man in the White House,
was welcomed to Britain by Lord Cobbled, the Lord Champion.
We are partners.
In the quest for peace, we know that our relationship,
that special relationship that we have is not exclusive because that peace that we seek,
the two of us,
will be secure only when all nations enjoy the relationship of trust and confidence that unite us.
How are the lads?
Thank you for your wonderful welcome to me.
