List of state visits received by George VI

King George VI acceded to the throne of the United Kingdom in December 1936. Due to the outbreak of World War II and his poor health in post-War years, he only received a few state visits from foreign heads of state during his reign, all of whom were from European countries. A state visit normally lasted for 4 days and included a state banquet given by The King at Buckingham Palace as well as a formal reception of the City of London at Guildhall.
