    Samantha Cameron has joined the Prime Minister on an official visit to see President Barack Obama

    Samantha and David Cameron have touched down in the United States for their official visit to see President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

    For her arrival in Washington D.C. SamCam flew the flag for British designers in a smart navy Burberry trench coat over the top of Joseph peg leg trousers and L.K. Bennett shoes.

    Later on, while Cameron and Obama jetted off on Air Force One to catch a basketball game in Ohio and to discuss world politics, Samantha and Michelle attended a mini-Olympics event to raise awareness for Michelle's anti-obesity campaign.
