Obama makes Westminster Abbey gaffe
A mistake by US President Barack Obama in the guest book of Westminster Abbey has caused a stir.
The President wrote a heartfelt note in the book during a half-hour visit to the Abbey, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge married last month, but appears to have dated the message "24 May 2008".
Mr Obama wrote: "It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage and common sacrifice."
His signature and that of his wife Michelle appears below, alongside the apparently incorrect date, which immediately caused a stir on social networking sites.
