Mexico's First Lady did her country proud when she and husband President Enrique Peña Nieto were guests of the Queen at a state banquet in Buckingham Palace. Angélica Rivera, a former telenovela, that is soap, actress, was radiant in a long red gown, complemented by diamond and ruby jewellery. The monarch matched her for elegance in a long white evening gown and the historic Russian Kokoshnik tiara, which was made for Queen Alexandra in 1888. Earlier in the day, the guests of honour were given a magnificent welcome, featuring a carriage ride along the Mall and a 41-gun cannon salute.
