Exclusive By Terry O'Hanlon

And Bush's army of clod-hopping security service men trampled more precious and exotic plants ... [then there's the flamingos (yes, flamingos)]
... "The lawns are used for royal garden parties ... But 30,000 visitors did not do as much damage as the Americans did in three days ...

[Below (Nov 24, 2003) is another extract about the UK visit by Bush II]
