STORYLINE:
Indonesia's president met Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday during a visit to Britain that was marred by protesters accusing him of human rights abuses.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Indonesian first lady Ani Bambang Yudhoyono were welcomed by the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, at a ceremony in London's Horse Guards Parade.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and Foreign Secretary William Hague were also present at the welcoming ceremony.
The two couples then took part in a state carriage procession to Buckingham Palace, where the visiting couple will stay during their three-day visit.
The visit comes as, rights groups including the New York-based Human Rights Watch, say that Indonesia's military is responsible for some of the violence in the southeast Asian country's restive Papua province, home to a decades-long low-level guerrilla war.
Yudhoyono has conceded that Indonesian security forces had overreacted at times, but said the attacks were "on a small scale with limited victims."
The queen, who along with her husband visited Indonesia 33 years ago, praised Yudhoyono for leading democratic change in Indonesia during a lavish state banquet she hosted in honour of her guests at a ballroom in Buckingham Palace.
The president is the first foreign leader to be welcomed in a state visit during the queen's Diamond Jubilee year.
