The Dalai Lama has arrived in London at the start of a 10-day visit to the UK.
The Tibetan spiritual leader will address Parliament and give evidence on human rights to a parliamentary committee during his trip.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown will not receive him at 10 Downing Street but is due to meet him with the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace on Friday.
Protests at his visit are expected from a variety of groups, with Scotland Yard having planned "appropriate" policing.

Are the press being unkind to the PM in their accusations of bowing to Chinese pressure by not meeting in at number 10? I'm sure he wouldn't meet him at all? The continuing anti-Brown propaganda machine perhaps?
