US President Barack Obama has hosted a dinner in honour of the Queen at the end of his state visit to the UK.
The president and his wife Michelle organised the intimate evening as a thank-you to the Queen for Tuesday's state banquet at Buckingham Palace.
It was held in London at the official home of the US ambassador to Britain.
Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Colin Firth, England footballer David Beckham and Harry Potter author JK Rowling were among the guests.
While the state banquet on Tuesday night had been a white-tie affair, the dress code for the Obamas' dinner was black tie.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were welcomed when they arrived by the Obamas. The two couples greeted each other warmly, shaking hands, and exchanging smiles and a few words before posing for the waiting international media.
The Queen wore an Angela Kelly white evening dress with gold and silver sequins, and an emerald necklace and matching earrings.
Mrs Obama was dressed in a black off-the-shoulder dress, and wore what appeared to be a diamond necklace and matching bracelet.
The two heads of state led the way through the residence's entrance, which was flanked by two US marines.
