President Donald Trump laid a wreath at, and prayed over the interred remains of an unknown combatant of the Great War of 1914-1918 on Monday morning, during a visit to Westminster Abbey on his State Visit to the United Kingdom.
The visit to the Abbey, the historic place of burial and coronations for English and British Kings and Queens for nearly 1,000 years, was hosted by British Royal Prince Andrew and the chapter officers of the Abbey itself. President Trump was driven from Buckingham Palace, where he had eaten lunch with Queen Elizabeth II, to the Abbey in the Presidential motorcade in a journey along the Mall and Horse Guard’s which took a little less than two minutes to complete.
Britain’s Sky News reported pro-Trump supporters outnumbered antis outside Buckingham Palace as the President’s car drew by, but noted protests against President Trump are expected in London tomorrow.

The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior holds the mortal remains of an unidentified British soldier who was killed in France during the Great, or First World War. The body was interred with full state honours, having been transported from the European battlefield, in 1920 as a focus for collective national grief and mourning, and a tomb for the thousands of families whose loved ones who were killed and remains remained missing.

Just thought you would want to see the comparison picture of the visit to the tomb of the unknown.
No further comment.
Yes
Is that an U S Marine saluting? Perhaps the escort assisting President Trump in the placing of the wreath?
YUGE difference between the two, isn’t there?
Moochelle wore a freaking cardigan???
I guess we should be thankful for that.
If you know what I mean.
Yes, indeed. The scale of the building really took me by surprise. Seeing it through the lens of a TV camera doesn't begin to capture it.
I bet she could she is a brute. Funny though how she was billed as the fashion icon and yet my eyes tell me she was anything but. Affirmative action fashion.
Perhaps billed as a fashion icon, but fashion icon my ass.
99.9% of what she wore over an 8 year period looked like the cast offs of a 17th century rag picker.
Eleanor Roosevelt was no looker, but compared to “MOOCH the GORILLA” she would have won Miss Universe.
Yes, it is. And, yes, one of two who had just assisted with the wreath laying.
