An excited young British family has told ITV News they are "euphoric" after meeting Barack Obama during his impromptu visit to Stonehenge this evening.

Janice and James Raffle and their three sons live a mile up the road from the ancient landmark.

They were playing in the garden when they heard helicopters overhead, and decided to make a dash up to the site after hearing the President may be in the area.

Something like see the family; dad, mom and they had three sons, how many is that? Five!

...perhaps a video might help Perino get over her frustration?

"I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object."
