STORYLINE
French president Nicolas Sarkozy arrived in Britain on Wednesday on the first state visit to Britain by a French president in 12 years.
Prince Charles and his wife Camilla greeted Sarkozy and his glamorous wife, the model-turned-singer Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, as they landed on Wednesday morning at London's Heathrow Airport.
The pair later received a formal welcome from Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip on the outskirts of Windsor before enjoying a carriage ride to Windsor Castle, where they were guests of the Queen.
The two-day state visit was aimed at creating a new era of trust between the nations.
During the 36-hour trip Sarkozy will also hold talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and address members of both Houses of Parliament.
After visiting the Queen, Sarkozy and Bruni-Sarkozy will also lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey in London, a gesture designed to emphasise the two world wars Britain and France have fought together.
Later on Wednesday, Sarkozy will attend a state banquet at Windsor Castle hosted by the Queen.
His focus Thursday will be meetings with Brown at the British prime minister's official residence in Downing
Street.
The agenda for the meetings includes a number of weighty topics: expansion of France's military role in NATO and Afghanistan, a possible joint nuclear energy programme, immigration, and the credit crisis that has spread from the United States to Europe.
British officials said the French president requested to visit the site because of his fascination with clocks.
