A royal carriage ride followed by an F-35 flyover greeted US President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, during a historic state visit that’s set against the backdrop of heightened global and domestic tensions.

The president and First Lady Melania Trump arrived by Marine One in the early afternoon to be met by King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine with a royal salute. The group was quickly swept into horse-drawn carriages for a procession along a color guard-lined route to the castle.

The gilded Irish Stage Coach that the king and Trump rode in is customarily rolled out for the State Opening of Parliament and was also used for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding, underscoring the scope of the British charm offensive. The first lady, wearing a distinctive wide-brimmed hat in maroon, followed with the queen in a second coach.
