Six people who heard the US president speak in London give their views

Bunce was praised at the event by Obama for her “fight for people with disabilities and against violence against women”.

“I think that when friends see friends making big decisions, it’s natural for them to offer advice. It is no surprise that Obama has spoken out about the EU. Both the leave and remain campaigns have talked about the referendum as the UK working out where we sit in a globalised world. We are deciding what we want our future international relationships to look like. So it seems pretty sensible that the world would want to join in the conversation with us.”
