Prime Minister David Cameron will leave Downing Street to meet Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace at 1130 GMT on Friday where she is expected to formally invite him to form a new government, officials said.

Cameron was on track to win a slim majority after Thursday's general election against his centre-left Labour rival Ed Miliband, defying opinion polls which had predicted a close result and weeks of haggling.
