"The waving and grinning was also quite odd considering the solemn occasion they are here to attend."

Having just read all the other comments, I don’t know why what annsixty said bothered most others enough to criticize her seemingly innocuous criticism of a public official. Doesn’t the first picture in this thread look a little too excited or happy to be there for the occasion? From a factual standpoint, yes it does. End of story. It’s not superficial or unkind to say that.

They're ready to take off from Maryland, USA -- not landing in the UK.

They're leaving from a military field, honouring American Air Force 75th Anniversary, notes the news. Of course they're happy and waving.

USPresidents sometimes wear odd military looking jackets, with their names embroidered on, it seems.

Was that a serious question. who is Bridgette Macron and Jill Biden ?

I think that was misunderstanding due to a lack of punctuation, MerylStreep ie a case of eats shoots and leaves!

You do you.

Well I am glad that your attempt to be judgemental regarding the President and First Lady of the US was called out for what it actually is.

Especially because you were incorrect about the facts of the photo you made a rash judgement about.

annsixty you tried!!

We shall all be agog now to see what Jill Biden is wearing tomorrow

Well at least I tried to introduce a new subject.
Can't win 'em all.

I'm not criticising annsixty at all.
I hope she realises that

Just saying don't believe everything you may see on Google or in the press.

She looks amazing in her trainers.

I wore heels for my mother's funeral got stuck in the mud and tripped nearly falling into a grave that had just been dug. An unsympathetic cousin remarked she thought I was joining in , Maybe I should have worn trainers or at least flat shoes.

Oh Yammy
I shouldn't laugh, it must have been upsetting at the time.

However, I had a vision of Miranda walking across a graveyard after a funeral .......

There will obviously be more than one image of them arriving and so there will be multiple emotions captured from one picture to the next. As such where there is a picture of them looking solemn doesn’t mean there was not also a picture of them appearing far too cheery for the occasion.

It does look like (in the first picture on this thread) they are excited for their trip. The huge smile and wave screams “aloha Hawaii!”

Are some posters just looking for something to complain about? I saw nothing wrong about them at all.
Honestly that would never has entered my head.

I do not think it is a particularly British phenomena.

Personally, I have better things to do with my time than study the minutiae of what people in the public eye wear, unless they wear something egregiously inappropriate. For example Mrs Biden turning up to the Queen's funeral in a bright pink ra-ra skirt and a top with flashing lights on it.

Well, very interesting to see such superficial criticisms of the US President and First Lady.
I’m still hugely relieved it isn’t Mr Trump and the current Mrs T

For the love of all that is holy, do British people ever not complain about minute details that mean nothing in the big picture?

Who cares what Jill Biden was wearing when she left the US?

Who cares what her facial expression was?

Who cares how long they stayed? If they had spent longer, people would be
complaining he took up to much time.

Brigitte Macron? There’s is quite a special relationship - she’s 69 and he’s 44

Obviously what the Bidens were wearing was entirely appropriate for their departure. Norah has explained that. They would have changed en route. The US is a close and important ally of the UK. The Bidens are decent people. Why be so unkind? I can’t begin to imagine how Trump would have behaved if he were in office. Thank goodness for Joe.

Following on from a thread the other week about French Chic. Maybe we should wait and see what Madam Macron wears. I remember a lot of grans saying she was Mutton dressed as lamb at the G8 Summit when Jill Biden had Love in sequins on the back of her black jacket maybe she will recycle it tomorrow.

Ah we’ll Call that is a far better picture and more in keeping with the occasion

He’s been to the chapel. Didn’t seem to stay long.
