Protests on the village green and a ｣1m security operation today heralded the arrival of the US president, George Bush, to the prime minister's County Durham constituency.
Leaving London this morning after a formal farewell from the Queen at Buckingham Palace, Mr Bush and his entourage flew to Teesside airport on Air Force One.
A helicopter then took the presidential party the 10-mile journey to Tony Blair's Sedgefield constituency.
As it landed, demonstrators waved placards that called on both Mr Blair and Mr Bush to resign over the Iraq war and protested against the state visit.
One demonstrator, Anne Newton, a former leader of Wear Valley council, carried a banner that read: "A million to protect a murderer."
She told the Press Association: "It is costing a million pounds a day to protect that man, who should not even be in this country."
Mohammed Akhtar, from Middlesbrough, was in the village as a member of his town's Islamic Society. He said: "All the problems we are facing all over the world have all been created by Mr Bush."
Striking a completely different note, Kelly Smith, a Texan who lives in Sedgefield, draped herself in the US flag and made a lone stand in support of her president.
Harangued by other protesters, Ms Smith said she was a "patriotic, conservative" American who had supported Mr Bush as an overseas voter in the last presidential election.
Mr Bush and his wife, Laura, first visited Mr Blair and his wife, Cherie, at their home in Trimdon before leaving in an armoured Chevrolet and are expected to enjoy a pub lunch at the nearby Dun Cow Inn in Sedgefield.
The former French prime minister, Lionel Jospin, was a guest of Mr Blair's in 1998 at the country pub, when he dined on a starter of mixed sea foods and a main course of sea bass.
On that occasion Mr Blair ate celeriac and Northumbrian smoked cheese followed by a fillet of Cowell Peninsula salmon.
Mr Bush's itinerary will see him visit local schools before he returns to the US after the three-day visit.
John Naylor, a 41-year-old digger driver in Trimdon, said he was delighted to welcome the president.
"I agree with everything that he has done in Iraq and it is great that he has put Trimdon on the map."
Durham Police said there were an estimated 500 people at the demonstration and added that there had been no reported arrests.
Police said that 1,300 officers would be on duty for today's security operation.
