President Obama and his wife celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday


The US President and his wife Michelle on Friday April 22nd visited the Queen of England (Queen Elizabeth the second) to pay tribute to her at the queen's 90th birthday.

The queen and her husband Prince Philip greeted the president and his wife Michelle Obama as their helicopter landed  on the manicured lawns of Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world located about 20 miles (32 km) to the west of the British capital.
After chatting briefly, they climbed into the queen's Range Rover and the 94-year-old Philip drove them to the royal residence, which has been a family home for British monarchs for nearly 1,000 years, as trumpets sounded in the distance.






The President, meanwhile, presented the Queen with a 90th birthday gift: a book that shows pictures the queen's meeting with past U.S. presidents dating back to a 1951 encounter with Harry S. Truman when she visited Washington as a princess.
Obama was quoted as saying "I have to say I have never been driven by a Duke of Edinburgh before, but I can report it was very smooth riding. The Queen has been a source of inspiration for me, like so many people around the world. She is truly one of my favorite people."

  1. I was not happy until i met Dr.Agbazara through these details +2348104102662 OR agbazara@gmail.com because my husband has left me and never had the intention of coming back home. But just within 48 hours that i contacted Dr. Agbazara my marriage changed to the positive side, At first my husband came back home and since then my marriage has been more peaceful and romantic than ever before
