US President Joe Biden has tripped and fallen while handing out diplomas at a graduation ceremony for the US Air Force Academy in Colorado. Mr Biden, who is the nation's oldest serving president at 80, was helped back up to his feet and appeared to be unhurt. A White House press pool report earlier said Mr Biden had tripped on a black sandbag while moving on stage. Mr Biden is hardly the first commander-in-chief to lose his footing in front of the cameras. President Barack Obama tripped walking up stairs at a 2012 event, while President Gerald Ford fell down the stairs of Air Force One in 1975.
