"VIDEO: A cheerful farewell after Icelandic State Visit"

 

BB reports that the reception hosted by the visiting Icelandic couple included delicious canapés with delicacies from the Island. There were readings and entertainment, but it was the President's speech that really set the party atmosphere alight. He turned out to be something of a stand-up comedian, says BB, and the younger royals enjoyed themselves so royally that tears were rolling down cheeks.
