Donald Trump breezed into Buckingham Palace aboard Marine One on Monday morning, as Tory leadership contenders braced themselves for presidential interventions in the race.
The US president and the first lady, Melania Trump, landed on the Queen’s lawn in their helicopter for the full British bells and whistles state visit, including two 41-gun salutes, a guard of honour and a banquet.There was even a wall – the high one which encloses Buckingham Palace gardens – which served to keep Trump well away from the public at the start of his three-day visit, most of which will be conducted behind closed doors and well away from the planned protests.
