Gerry Adams has been a guest at No 10 and the White House but the Sinn Fein president is definitely not welcome at the V&A museum, it seems.
Staff have removed his name from the guest list for the opening of its "Che Guevara: Revolutionary and Icon" exhibition next week.
Mr Adams's name was deleted for being neither -"relevant or appropriate", said the exhibition's curator, Trisha Ziff, who had invited him as a personal friend.
