State and official visits to the United Kingdom |

It is a royal event that involves the all assets in the Civil Service, the Royal Household and the Household Division. |
It also involves other members of the Royal family and is centered in London, the national capital. |
Invitations for state visits are sent by the Royal Household with supervision by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. |
State visits do not formally occur between the United Kingdom and the 15 other Commonwealth realms, as the realms all share a common monarch and head of state. |
Visits conducted by the monarch to another Commonwealth realm are also not considered a state visits but rather royal visits. |
In addition, official visits to the United Kingdom by another Commonwealth realm are typically performed by their respective governor general, who in that capacity are usually in the country for an audience with the Queen. |
One of the more notable as well as earliest instances of a state visit to the British Isle is the Grand Embassy of Peter the Great, which was a diplomatic mission to Western Europe in 1697 and 1698 led by Peter the Great of the Russian Empire. |
The modern pomp and ceremonial came about in the early 19th century. |

They are usually greeted on behalf of the Queen by a member of the Royal family and the UK Foreign Secretary. |
The dignitary and the monarch then ride down The Mall in a state carriage (usually the 1902 State Landau) escorted by the Household Cavalry with street liners coming from the Foot Guards. |
Union Flags and the flags of the visiting country are usually draped on both sides of the road. |
An arrival ceremony usually takes place on Horse Guards Parade (although there are also some instances where it takes place at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle) with a Guard of Honour being provided by members of the Queen's Guard (usually found from one of the five regiments of foot guards: Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards, and the Welsh Guards). |
Prior to a welcoming ceremony at Windsor Castle, the state guest receives a welcome at Datchet railway station with the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment and it's mounted band. |
Following the performance of the national anthems, first of the visiting country and then "God Save the Queen" (although the former is the sole piece that played most of the time), the commander of the guard of honour formation, usually a junior officer, will always report to the dignitary in the language of the visitor, with the report being along the lines of the following: |
After the report, the selected band plays a slow march while the formation of company size is inspected. |
Depending on the area where the ceremony takes place, a march past will immediately take place following the inspection. |
If it takes place on Horse Guards Parade, then the foreign guest and the Queen travel to Buckingham Palace in a carriage procession escorted by a large number of mounted soldiers from the Household Cavalry. |
The welcome ceremony is accompanied by 21-gun salutes fired from Green Park and the Tower of London. |
Exceptions to this included Xi Jinping who was received with a 41-gun salute in Green Park and a simultaneous 62-gun salute at the Tower of London and City of London (103 guns in total). |
In recent years, Windsor Castle has hosted arrival ceremonies from President Thank Mbeki of South Africa, Abdullah II of Jordan, President Barack Obama and Margrethe II of Denmark. |
During the lattermost visit, the guard of honour was provided by the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, a unit of which she is Colonel in Chief. |
Guards of honour have also been accorded for visiting dignitaries who are in the country on official or even working visits, including Soviet leaders Nikita Khrushchev and Mikhail Gorbachev in 1956 and 1989 respectively as well as US President Donald Trump in 2018. |
Upon returning home from the latter visit, Trump falsely claimed that the Queen, who accompanied him during his inpsection of the 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards at Windsor Castle, "reviewed her Honor Guard for the first time in 70 years", despite the fact that at the time she had only been sovereign for 65 years. |
The largest guard of honour to be formed up for a state visit was in 2003 during the visit of President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush, when an arrival ceremony took place in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, in which the Household Cavalry and the King's Troop were paraded in front of the visiting dignitaries. |
Dignitaries have an informal lunch with the Queen before viewing the Royal Collection's artefacts and exchanging gifts with the Royals. |
