STORYLINE
US President Barack Obama arrived at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday evening for a much-anticipated first meeting with the British monarch.
The president arrived at the royal residence in London alongside his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama.
The US President and Mrs. Obama - wearing a black skirt, white shirt, pearls and a black coat - were two of the first dignitaries to meet Queen Elizabeth 11 who wire a salmon coloured dress and her trademark pearls.
During their private meeting, President Obama and first lady gave the queen a personalised iPod with video footage of her 2007 visit to Washington
and Virginia.
She was also given a rare songbook signed by composer Richard Rodgers.
In return the queen, and her husband Prince Philip, gave the Obamas signed portrait of themselves.
After her meeting with the Obamas, the queen held a reception for all the world leaders attending the summit.
