The Queen meets Indian Prime Minister Narendra
Modi at Buckingham Palace
|
Tens of thousands of
Narendra Modi fans are set to pack Wembley Stadium as he continues the first
visit to the UK by an Indian prime minister for a decade. The huge rally will come
after Mr Modi lunches with the Queen at Buckingham Palace and attends further
meetings with business leaders as part of a trade drive.
Mr
Modi was welcomed by the Master of the Household, the Queen's representative,
as he entered the Palace.
Press Association report continues:
He
arrived at 1pm in a black Jaguar which headed a five-car convoy.
Mr
Modi, wearing a red sleeveless tunic over white clothing, stepped out of the
car on to the Palace's red carpet, which extended into the courtyard.
The
Master greeted him with the words: "A very warm welcome to you, sir."
Mr
Modi was then led inside to meet the Queen.

UK's biggest - as well as a speech by Mr Modi.
