On the last day of his state visit to the U-K, Emperor Akihito of Japan, spoke of the strong relationship between the two countries.
The Emperor's speech at a reception in London, followed a visit to national history organisation where he met people who share his enthusiasm for the study of Gobi fish.
Former World War II prisoners once again held small demonstrations - but the Emperor met another group of veterans angry about the protests.
On the last day of his state visit to the U-K, the Emperor of Japan met a group of British enthusiasts who share his interest in Gobi fish.
Akihito spends much of his time studying and publishing academic papers about the fish, which are particularly common around Japan.
Emperor Akihito visited the Linnean Society of London, a natural history organisation founded in 1788 to meet other experts.
Meanwhile, Empress Michiko, visited the headquarters of the British Red Cross after saying goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.
This trip - at the invitation of the Queen - has stirred controversy among former internees of Japanese Prisoner of War camps.
The Empress showed composure as a group of nine demonstrators held placards, many protesting that Japanese troops had confiscated Red Cross parcels sent to prisoners during World War II.
And the campaigners who have plagued the couple's trip were also there to confront Emperor Akihito as he went on to a luncheon at a central London hotel.
The event was hosted by a number of British and Japanese organisations, and he spoke of the efforts that had been made to build a strong relationship between the two countries.
SOUNDBITE: (Japanese)
"It is most heartening that today through the tireless efforts of a great many people to heal the wounds of war and establish a new co-operative relationship, great and closer relations are being brought about between our two countries."
SUPER CAPTION: Emperor Akihito of Japan
Once again, a small group of protesters continued in their campaign to try and win what they call 'a real apology' and compensation for their suffering in Japanese prison camps during World War Two.
But inside the hotel, the Emperor was due to meet five veterans of the Second World War who were guests at the reception - and who said they would be apologising for the protests against an ally of Britain.
The British Prime Minister, Tony Blair has said that Japan has apologised enough for war time atrocities and will not back the ex-POW demands.
