I think this list is not correct. I know 2011 there was a state visit of president fischer from austria. there are many links in google: http://www.gettyimages.nl/detail/nieuwsfoto's/britains-queen-elizabeth-meets-austrian-president-heinz-nieuwsfotos/450349297 also another austria state visit of former president klestil in 1995 is not in the list: http://topfoto.co.uk/imageflows/preview/t=topfoto&f=0309729

Removed three visits from list; updated sources

According to the Royal Family's own list (PDF), the visits by US Presidents Reagan (1982) and Clinton (1995) were not state visits. This ties in with what a BBC correspondent noted on the BBC TV news this morning: that those two were official visits, which are not quite the same thing. As such, I have removed those two from this list. The visit by Pope Benedict in 2010 is also not listed as a state visit by royal.gov, so I have removed that also. The 2016 visit by the President of Colombia has been retained, although the list stops at 2015, since it can be verified from elsewhere on the royal.uk site. I have added a separate citation for that, and have also updated the "Sources" link, since the old one is broken. Loganberry (Talk) 15:05, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
