Instead of the Royal Coach, Mr Bush will travel to the Palace by helicopter. It is understood that he has indicated that he would like to wear a US army helicopter pilot's combat uniform and to be lowered into Palace grounds by winch, and Downing Street has agreed, in the interests of diplomacy.

Her Majesty, however, is reported to be "not amused" and Prince Philip has apparently threatened to get his shotgun out and take "a pot-shot at the bugger if he tries that".

"It's not Monty Python's Flying Circus here, with people dressing up as whatever they bloody well feel like," the Prince is understood to have said. "You don't see us dressing up and looking bloody ridiculous."

Other proposed events during the Mr Bush's visit have also been curtailed or cancelled. In particular, Mr Bush will not address Parliament, allegedly because of fears of embarrassment should there be a boycott by MPs. "Actually," confided Mr Ramsbottom, "the real reason is that they couldn't find an interpreter."
