World leaders have gathered in the UK to mark 70 years of NATO co-operation, with a reception in Buckingham Palace

Some of the most famous faces around were present at Buckingham Palace, with the Queen and several other members of the Royal Family on hand as hosts.

Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, and Justin Trudeau were all present at the Palace, along with many other leaders. 

Notable Royal absentees were Prince William, who is currently in Kuwait, Harry and Meghan, who are taking a break from their Royal duties for now, and of course Prince Andrew, who is no longer taking on any Royal duties.
