[**Follow live coverage of Barack Obama's visit to the UK **][1]
|
|
|
|
The President has, so far, received a warm welcome on his European trip, with
|
|
plenty of good photo opportunities including [**drinking Guinness in
|
|
Ireland**][2] and [**playing table tennis with David Cameron**][3] in London.
|
|
|
|
[**Speaking at Westminster Hall**][4] in front of both Houses of Parliament,
|
|
Obama focused upon the "special relationship" between the UK and the US.
|
|
|
|
After his speech, the President received a one minute standing ovation,
|
|
showing that the speech had gone down well, with the possible exception of a
|
|
[**tired Kenneth Clarke**][5].
