Barack Obama was treated to an impromptu serenade by an all-female choir during his visit to Denmark’s capital city of Copenhagen.

The group sang a rendition of the tune “In Denmark I Was Born” and Mr Obama appeared impressed by the effort, saying: “Wow, that was fantastic” and offering a round of applause in response.
