It was William Hague, whose gift to Mr Obama on Saturday was a copy of his biography of anti-slavery campaigner William Wilberforce. Mr Brown's gift was books on Churchill (rather than his own works, such as Courage), and Mr Cameron gave him copies of his favourite CDs, including The Smiths.
Keirin is a cycling event. Documents given to the BBC suggest that $3m (ã1.5m) was paid to the UCI - the world cycling body, which denies this - and it then became an Olympic event. The bangle worn by Sikhs is the kara. And the search site is Cuil, from the Gaelic for knowledge and hazel.
The wife with the adulterous husband will be charged with manslaughter due to provocation - not an option yet for battered women. But proposed reforms in England and Wales, and Northern Ireland, are set to allow those who kill a violent partner to face the lesser charge of manslaughter.
The full headline read "Huge fire destroys historic pier" - the blaze all but destroyed the Great Pier in Weston-super-Mare on Wednesday.
It's a cool $200,000 - about ã100k. The entrepreneur said on Tuesday that more than 250 people have already paid to be among Virgin's first space tourists when flights begin in about 18 months time.
It's 55 minutes each day - a University of Pittsburgh study released on Tuesday found that this was the minimum needed to maintain a 10% drop in weight.
It's Pooh Bear, whose fondness for licking out every last morsel of "Hunny" led to an unfortunate case of jar-on-head. Yogi's weakness is picnic baskets. And Paddington's is marmalade. The black bear, shot in Minnesota, lodged his head in a plastic jar thought to have contained sweets or popcorn while foraging for food.
