U.S. presidential contender Barack Obama was in London on Saturday, where he met British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on the last leg of his European and Middle Eastern tour.
The Democratic hopeful seemed relaxed as he strolled down to the prime minister's office at 10 Downing St. On Saturday morning, pausing briefly to shake the hand of a somewhat startled police officer standing near the door.
He turned to television cameras, smiled, waved and said "Hello," before walking into Number 10. Brown greeted him just inside the door.
The pair later emerged into the garden at the rear where they appeared to be getting on very well.
Obama was expected to speak with Brown about the war in Iraq and about strengthening ties between the United States and the United Kingdom.
Earlier on Saturday morning, he met former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is now serving as a Middle East envoy.
