White Tie Dinner

Yesterday Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, duke of Edinburgh arrrived by limo for their official welcome to the White House.
This included a 21-gun salute and trumpet fanfares. The day ended with a state dinner hosted by President George Bush, and his wife Laura.
Apparently Laura had to convince George to do the dinner as a white-tie event. A few etiquette lessons were needed for this Texan who enjoys putting his feet up on the coffee table and drinking water straight from the bottle. Texas swagger meets British prim.

Seems like he came through ok.
