I'll try to show the picture in the link of when they arrive here.
Don't trust Google!

Sober clothing, sober expressions

The more I see/read of Americans and their culture, the more I see them as a culture as alien to us as ours is to the remotest Amazon tribe.

I also cannot help but notice how similar our culture is to all the European countries that surround us, whether we speak their language or not,

Ah, well!

The photograph I referred to was on Google news and the caption read, President Biden arriving at Stansted airport.
So if I got it wrong so did Google.

What is mean spirited about giving me opinion, it’s not only to do with what they wearing but the facial expressions etc. we will be able to judge better when we see pictures of other world leaders arriving.

i can only see a yellow flower.
can't read the writing, too small.
and i agree with Norah.

They look like they are going on holiday

Why be mean spirited? They (not Trump) left America to fly a great distance to honour our Queen.

I imagine they brought appropriate funeral clothing, and will look lovely when attending the events they're invited to.

Welbeck, this one, also can be white

what plant ??

PollyDolly Sun 18-Sept-22 15:11:45

Good grief! They'll be wearing oversized baseball caps next!

Norah Sun 18-Sept-22 15:08:44

This picture?

If so they are leaving from America, honouring American Air Force 75th Anniversary, notes the news. Presidents sometimes wear military looking flight jackets, it seems.

25Avalon Sun 18-Sept-22 14:42:52

I thought you meant the plant for a moment??
With Joe’s reputed memory lapses perhaps he needs it in case he forgets who he is. Paddington Bear has a label too!

kittylester Sun 18-Sept-22 14:28:29

Never ann! I agree and noone could describe me as such.grin

annsixty Sun 18-Sept-22 14:25:03

How very strange that the President and his wife need their names on their jackets to remind themselves and tell other people who they are.
The waving and grinning was also quite odd considering the solemn occasion they are here to attend.
Am I just a crotchety old lady?
