Limited pool with one print and one TV plus full photo was led into the Royal Collection Display. It’s a very good ornate room with green walls and gold trim, with glass-fronted cabinets filled with royal-looking crockery. POTUS, FLOTUS, King Charles and Queen Camilla entered the room from a side door and inspected artefacts laid out on five tables about US-British relations. They walked along slowly looking at the…

Was hard to see from the distance pool was at, but worth noting that footage from the arrival shows POTUS and King Charles III chatting and joking as they inspected the troops, with the king at one point putting his hand on Trump’s back, and the pair stopping to talk with the sword-wielding officer who escorted them. Pool still holding. Cucumber (and tuna) sandwiches were offered. Danny Kemp AFP White House correspo…

After the inspection, Trump and the king returned to the dais. Soldiers on horseback in ceremonial uniforms filed out and then the different detachments marched off in order, playing music. The Scots Guards, playing bagpipes were last to leave, perhaps in a nod to Trump, whose mother was Scottish and who has two golf courses in Scotland. The Trumps and the royals then left the stage towards the Sovereign’s Entrance…

The carriage procession, led by an opulent black and gold coach carrying POTUS and King Charles and pulled by six speckled white and gray horses, pulled into the huge stone quadrangle of Windsor Castle at 12.34pm. The military band started playing the Star Spangled Banner as the carriages moved clockwise around the gravel path, followed by by God Save the King. The carriage pulled up at the white dais beneath the cr…

Good morning from Windsor Castle, where Britain has rolled out the most British, overcast, grey sky possible. It’s 63F / 17C and ground is damp but so fair rain holding off. Pool has been swept and is now holding in a building inside the castle complex. On the drive in, we passed the playing fields of Eton College, while there were US and UK flags on lampposts along Windsor high street. Light crowds and one person h…

The pool wasn’t there for this, but POTUS came up to cameras after he arrived on Marine One at Winfield House, the US ambassadors residence in central London. “We just had a good flight, a lot of people came with us. Tomorrow’s going to be a very big day,” he said, according to a stream of the remarks. He was asked how it felt to be back in the U.K.: “I love it. I love Turnberry, I love Aberdeen. I have a lot of thi…

A group of military officers, about a dozen on each side, marched and formed a line at the base of the AF1 stairs. POTUS and FLOTUS walked down and shook hands with several greeters, and he saluted and shook hands with military officers. There were a few exchanges out of earshot. He and the First Lady walked over to Marine One and lifted around 9:25pm as pool loaded in vans. Matt Viser The Washington Post White Hous…

Wheels down at Stansted Airport at 9:07pm BST, following a flight of about six hours. About an hour into it POTUS came back briefly, noting his earlier gaggle on the South Lawn. He remarked about the trip, “It’s going to be a very big thing.” He noticed Brian Glenn, saying, “Hello Brian. I told him yesterday we took down the tent. That tent’s been up for three years, I didn’t know that.” Glenn corrected that the ten…

POTUS arrived at JBA on Marine One at 9:42am and about five minutes later boarded AF1 with First Lady Melania Trump. At the top of the steps he gave a wave and a fist pump but didn’t stroll toward us. Walking just behind them was Tiffany Trump and her husband Michael Boulos. Unclear what the full travel contingent is but co-poolers spotted Susie Wiles and Stephen Miller arriving and boarding earlier. We are rolling…
