It is thought that Mr Clinton is in Oxford for the anniversary of the Rhodes Scholarship programme, which was established in 1903.

Mr Clinton received an honorary degree from Oxford University in 1994, a year after he became president.

His wife, Hilary Clinton, also gained an honorary degree in civil law from the university in 2021.
