US president Barack Obama has arrived in the UK as part of a planned three-day visit, BBC News reported Thursday. 

During his stay the president is expected to give his views on the UK's forthcoming EU referendum, and advise voters to remain in the union.

The President and First Lady Michelle Obama are due to be hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry on Friday.

Obama will also hold a press conference with PM David Cameron.

The president's British stopover will also include a lunch with Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle on Friday — a day after her 90th birthday — and a dinner hosted by Prince William, his wife Kate.
