Campaigners have descended on London today to protest the arrival of US President Donald Trump in the UK.
The President landed at Stansted Airport yesterday and made his way to the house of the US Ambassador before attending a black-tie dinner on Thursday at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
Today he is set to have a working lunch with Theresa May at Chequers before meeting the Queen and then flying to Turnberry resort in Scotland to play golf.
But a day of protests are in store first with tens of thousands of protesters expected to take to the streets of London.
The main anti-Trump rally will take place at 2pm today with 60,000 people registered as ‘attending’ on Facebook.
Marchers will leave unite in Portland Place and walk down Regents Street and Haymarket before finishing in Trafalgar Square.
A separate woman’s march is expected to take place along the same route, which could see 10,000 participants gather.
