Business moguls, politicians and members of the royal family made up the guest list for the state banquet to honour Donald Trump.
The glitzy event at Windsor Castle wraps up the first day of the US president’s visit to the UK, which has already seen pageantry, pomp and parades.

Previous state banquets, including one for former US president Barack Obama in 2011, have been littered with Hollywood stars, with Tom Hanks, Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton among those in attendance.
For Mr Trump, the 160-person strong guest list featured more trade and business rather than show business.

Sky News US correspondent Mark Stone said the positioning of each guest around the table is also telling.
He said across from Mr Trump and the King, on the other side of the table, was the Queen, the first lady, the Prince of Wales and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, which, Stone said “gives you a hint of how much this is all about business”.
Among the guests of honour were, of course, Donald and Melania Trump, alongside King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were in attendance, as were the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Royal and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
