UK Visit: King Charles receives Tinubu, First Lady (Photos)
President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday received a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle, officially commencing his state visit to the United Kingdom — the first by a Nigerian leader in 37 years.
The president, accompanied by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, was honoured with a 42-gun salute performed by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, underscoring the significance of the occasion.
Earlier, the Nigerian First Family was received by Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who escorted them to meet King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the historic royal residence.
The two-day visit will feature a series of high-level engagements, including a state banquet at St George’s Hall, an exchange of gifts, and a private viewing of Nigeria-related artefacts from the Royal Collection.
