Ice-cream toting guards escort JD Vance to UK's poshest farm shop
The man in the dark suit with an earpiece in the middle of a meadow was what gave it away.
Quiet country lanes and rolling farmland are not the natural habitat of the Secret Service. So when they descended on Daylesford Organic, Britain's poshest farm shop, visitors suspected someone important might be about to make an appearance.
JD Vance, the American vice-president, and his family were to visit for lunch as they continue their summer holiday in the Cotswolds.
'This morning there were two guys walking the perimeter of the meadow in a black suit and tie,' said one member of the gym that is attached to the farm shop, having spotted them out of the window during a fitness class.
'There are gardeners in the meadow sometimes but not a man in a suit and tie, I have never seen that before, so I knew it must be for the vice-president. It's not really very secret when they are dressed like that.'
