He and Mrs. Tuttle then met with the Lord Mayor and the Conservative and Labour leaders in the Bradford Council, and attended a reception (in their honor) with local business and community leaders. The Bradford Council for Mosques hosted Ambassador and Mrs. Tuttle at the Khidmat [community] Centre, where a meeting was held with leaders of the local Muslim community. To conclude the visit, the Ambassador opened two exhibits at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television. The exhibits (A Tale of Two Cities -Photographs of London and New York and Myths and Visions - The Art of Ray Harryhausen) both have an American connection.
