<p>US president Barack Obama is to make a state visit to the UK in May after accepting an invitation from the Queen, Buckingham Palace has announced.</p>
<p>Mr Obama will be joined by his wife Michelle for the three-day trip, which comes ahead of the G8 summit of world leaders in France which the American politician is expected to attend.</p>
<p>The announcement of the visit, from May 24 to 26, was made simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic by the Palace and the White House.</p>
<p>Downing Street said: &#8220;We are very pleased that this visit is taking place. It is a sign of the strong and enduring relationship between our two countries.&#8221;</p>
<p>It will be the first state visit by a US leader since George Bush came to the UK in November 2003, although Mr Bush was later hosted by the Queen at Windsor Castle in 2008.</p>
<p>Mr Obama has previously been to London for the G20 summit in 2009.</p>
<p>The US leader is likely to bring a delegation with him and is expected to hold talks with Prime Minister David Cameron on a range of issues.</p>
<p>As is traditional with state visits, the President and his wife, who will stay at Buckingham Palace, will receive a full ceremonial welcome and a banquet will be held in his honour.</p>
<p>The visit comes too late for Prince William and Kate Middleton&#8217;s wedding on April 29, although a guest list for the ceremony has yet to be released.</p>
