The President already seemed to be struggling with the fast pace of the European tour, as he inadvertantly went back to the future and entered the date as “24 May 2008″ on the visitors’ book in Westminister Abbey.

Barack goes back to the future

A few hours - and a can of hairspray - later.
Don't they look lovely?
