In his speech on the South Lawn, President Trump took a moment to remember Queen Elizabeth II, who he called "an incredible woman who I had the privilege of getting to know."

Trump was received by Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace during a state visit in 2019, during his first term.

Trump said the late monarch was a "very special woman who is very greatly missed on both sides of that mighty Atlantic."

President Trump, King Charles, first lady Melania Trump and Queen Camilla observed the military flyover from the balcony of the White House.

Next, they are expected to go into the White House Blue Room, where King Charles and Queen Camilla will sign the White House guest book and exchange gifts with the president and first lady.

Amid diplomatic tension between the U.S. and the U.K. over the war in Iran, President Trump spoke about the "special relationship" between the two nations.

"In the centuries since we won our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British," Trump said. "We share that same root. We speak the same language, we hold the same values, and together, our warriors have defended the same extraordinary civilization under twin banners of red, white and blue."
