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.uk, 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]

The Pope made a State Visit 2010 @Loganberry: also President Reagan and Clinton. Mr Hall of England (talk) 22:43, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The list on the royal.uk site includes none of those. For example, Reagan's is listed in the "Background" section here (also on royal.uk) as an official visit. Clinton's is not listed anywhere on that site as a state visit either. The visit by Pope Benedict is described on that site as a Papal Visit, which appears to be a special category of its own.

Official Visits

| 18–19 November 2004 ||  France || Republic || President Jacques Chirac, GCB and Mrs. Bernadette Chirac
(Official Visit to mark the centenary of the Entente Cordiale) |- | 25–27 October 2005 ||  Norway || Monarchy || King Harald, RVC (1994) KG (2001)
and Queen Sonja of Norway (Official visit) |-

I think there should be Official Visits to the United Kingdom added to this.Mr Hall of England (talk) 22:56, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
