US President Barack Obama has driven through Watford this afternoon on his way to play a round of golf.
Playing his first overseas golf round as president, he has been spotted pairing up with Prime Minister David Cameron at The Grove.
There is currently a huge police presence at the golf course just off Hempstead Road, which is hosting The British Masters later this year.
Obama, on a three-day UK visit, headed to The Grove after a meeting with the leader of the Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn.
He had earlier answered questions from young people at a town hall event - reducing one student from Watford to tears - and toured the Globe theatre to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.
People have taken to social media to express their delight at the visit, with some joking Obama may make an appearance at Oceana tonight...
