President Donald Trump touched down in London on June 3 and was welcomed with a whirlwind of pomp and pageantry, at the start of a three-day trip cast as a chance to celebrate Britain’s long-running relationship with the United States.

His first day in London included meetings with the royal family and an extravagant state dinner at Buckingham Palace. The trip—both ceremonial and official—includes a state visit, an audience with Queen Elizabeth II in London, D-Day commemoration ceremonies on both sides of the English Channel, and Trump’s first presidential visit to Ireland, which will include a stay at his own coastal golf club.
