White House rolls out red carpet for Queen
US President George W. Bush welcomed Britain?s Queen Elizabeth II and her husband to the White House yesterday in what was the first formal British royal visit with a US leader in 16 years.
The monarch and Prince Philip were greeted on the south lawn of the White House with a 21-gun salute and the national anthems of the two countries. As the White House polished its best china and crystal tableware, 7,000 guests including diplomats, members of the US Congress and cabinet and other officials chose their grandest outfits in which to attend the ceremony.
Only the most formal dress code of white-tie and tails would do for the five-course state dinner in the queen?s honor that was hosted yesterday evening by the president and First Lady Laura Bush.
