Obama in the UK: Have you heard the one about the Queen, the Pope and Nelson Mandela?
Politicians are not renowned for their joke telling ability but Barack Obama had his audience in a fit of giggles after telling them his gag about the Queen, the Pope and Nelson Mandela.
The President has, so far, received a warm welcome on his European trip, with plenty of good photo opportunities including drinking Guinness in Irelandand playing table tennis with David Cameronin London.
Speaking at Westminster Hall in front of both Houses of Parliament, Obama focused upon the "special relationship" between the UK and the US.
After his speech, the President received a one minute standing ovation, showing that the speech had gone down well, with the possible exception of a tired Kenneth Clarke.
