Obama to England: Mr Obama is the first US president to be granted the unique honour of speaking to both Houses in Westminster Hall. The President joins such esteemed company as Nelson Mandela, Charles de Gaulle and the Pope in being accorded the opportunity. After discussing the "enduring bond" between the US and Great Britain, focusing on the wartime relationship between Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt, Mr Obama received a standing ovation after closing his speech with a Churchillian quote from the end of the Second World War. The President said: “In the long years to come, not only will the people of this island but of the world, wherever the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts, look back to what we’ve done, and they will say ‘do not despair, do not yield … march straightforward.’"
