Joe Biden has responded to King Charles III's historic Coronation today - after avoiding the big day and instead sending his wife to represent the US.
The American President was a highly notable absence from today's Coronation with the White House at pains to point out that this is not a snub.
No US leader has ever attended the ceremony since the country gained its independence in 1776 and, with First Lady Jill Biden attending, this is the first time a family member of a sitting president has been to the coronation of a British monarch.
