Protests against Donald Trump's State visit began before he had even arrived in the UK yesterday, while further action is planned for the rest of his stay.

Thousands are set to descend on central London on Wednesday, with other demonstrations gearing up around the UK in opposition to the US President's two-day stay.

About 1,600 police officers will be in the capital, around Westminster, amid a march involving 50 groups organised by the Stop Trump Coalition.

Ahead of a potential clash between Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Mr Trump over free speech in the UK, the first flickers of discontent were felt near Windsor Castle last night, where Mr Trump and his wife Melania are staying.

As the couple were still in the air, a handful of protesters assembled outside Windsor Parish Church, chanting slogans including 'Dump Trump'.
