Queen arrives in Abu Dhabi for state visit
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have arrived in Abu Dhabi for a five-day state visit to the Gulf.
The monarch is in the region as part of government moves to renew the UK's relationship with the Gulf Arab states.
The Queen last visited the UAE in 1979 when she was a guest of founding father and ex-president of the Emirates, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan.
The Duke of York is also on the royal visit and was already in the UAE to greet his mother on arrival.
