When the Gipper came to the UK - Reagan Era

Telegraph: Reports on the song and dance that it took to arrange the visit to the UK of then US President Ronald Reagan in 1982. 

Lets Get Real: 

This is an excellent article but also fun folks, it shows how Diplomats get their knickers in a twist over all matter of things, before the new year this is fun read folks.    The President must have been popular with the Queen, as they both rode, and later after leaving office the President was given a knighthood, also when the Queen visited the US after the Reagan Era the Reagan's were invented on board the Queen's Ship for tea.    In all President Reagan was a great ally of the UK and of Lady Thatcher, they helped bring down the USSR.
