Queen Elizabeth II, 95, met the president, Joe Biden, on Friday during the British monarch's meeting with the leaders of the seven richest countries in the world (informally known as G-7), who hold their annual summit this weekend in the UK.
The queen has thus greeted 13 of the last 14 US presidents in person, that is, all from Harry Truman to the present, with the exception of Lyndon Johnson.
We collect images from each encounter, dating back to 1951.
