The president of Indonesia met Queen Elizabeth II Wednesday during a visit to Britain that was marred by protesters accusing him of human rights abuses. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Indonesia’s first lady Ani Bambang Yudhoyono were welcomed by the queen and her husband Prince Philip in a ceremony at London’s Horse Guards Parade. The two couples then took part in a state carriage procession to Buckingham Palace, where the visiting couple will stay during their three-day visit. <AP/NEWSis=Dan Kitwood, Pool>
