"You go upstairs... There's suits of armor... you go up more steps... we went to greet the King and President Trump. It was special... that main hall with the 50 yards of dining room table, is absolutely astonishing."
Sir Nick Faldo and 159 other guests were a part of the lavish dinner service held at St. George's Hall.
