Barack Obama pays tribute to 'very generous' and 'beloved' Queen

Former United States president Barack Obama has paid tribute to the "extraordinary generosity" shown by the late Queen to his family. Mr Obama shared a video on Twitter, in which he described how he felt when he first met the monarch.

He said: “The first time that I met the Queen was visiting London. She reminded me very much of my grandmother – which surprised me.

“Not just in appearance but also in manner. Very gracious, but also no nonsense. Wry sense of humour, she could not have been more kind or thoughtful to me and Michelle.”
