Queen: US, England eye to eye on world challenges
None
Queen Elizabeth II has used her speech at a state dinner honoring Barack and Michelle Obama to celebrate common bonds between the United States and Britain that she says go beyond military and diplomatic ties.
The queen opened the lavish state dinner at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday by recalling fond memories of her earlier meetings with the Obamas. And she said that the US and Britain in most cases see world problems in the same light. The queen said the US-UK relationship is - in her words - "tried, tested and, yes, special." (AP)
