President Tony Tan of Singapore Visits London

President Tony Tan is currently in London for his first state visit, on the invitation of Her Majesty the Queen.  Here are some photos.  Will post more as I come across them, so please check back.  I will start posting the most recent updates closer to the top of the blog post.

State Banquet hosted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Beautiful hall.

More pictures of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from the first day.

Duchess of Cambridge - Second Appearance of the Day
The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Natural History Museum in London this evening for the 2014 Wildlife Photograph Awards looking so lovely in a sky blue Jenny Packham wrap dress with nude peep-toe pumps.

Aside from a simple clutch, she kept the rest of the accessories to a minimum and wore her hair down in soft curls. The three-quarter length wrap dress showed just a bit of a royal baby bump. Kate never shies away from color—just one of the many things we adore about her style—and this particular shade of powder blue is so flattering, and gives her that perfect glow.  [source - e-online]

Note, Kate did not attend the State Banquet hosted for President Tony Tan.

Duchess of Cambridge - First Appearance
The Duchess of Cambridge was forced to cancel a number of official engagements due to her severe morning sickness, a condition known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum. She joined her husband Prince William to official greet the President of Singapore Tony Tan Keng Yam at London's Royal Garden Hotel - a great honour for Singapore.

The Duchess opted for a duck egg blue coat dress by Alexander McQueen and complementary fascinator by Jane Taylor for the high profile event with a pair of classic black heels an clutch.

Gorgeous day.

1972 - Her Majesty The Queen visited Singapore.  One of the events was to watch a horse race at the Singapore Turf Club, where Her Majesty gave out a trophy.

Earlier today, here is a picture of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Is that a Chinese junk?  One that many of our forefathers sat in order to come to Singapore from China.

Can't tell what they are looking at from this angle.
