Pro and anti-Trump activists jostled over a Make America Great Again cap shortly before the President arrived for his state banquet with the Queen. There have been protests against his visit across the country and a huge march is expected to be attended by up to 250,000 people today. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will address those demonstrating against Mr Trump’s policies on the second day of his visit. Mr Corbyn, who refused to attend a state banquet on Monday evening for the president, said he will join crowds to ‘stand in solidarity with those he’s attacked in America, around the world and in our own country’. A huge police and security operation is under way, with protesters barred from demonstrating directly outside Downing Street and road closures in place.

Tuesday will also see the giant, orange inflatable baby Trump blimp take to the skies again after its owners reached their fundraising target and permission was granted by the Greater London Authority. Organisers plan to fly the 20ft blimp of the nappy-clad president clutching a mobile phone for two hours from 10am over Trafalgar Square. A 16ft talking robot of Mr Trump sitting on a gold toilet is also expected to make an appearance. The protesters will include Handmaids Against Trump – women who will be draped in red with white hoods in homage to Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel about a crackdown on reproductive rights.

Labour’s Diane Abbott and Emily Thornberry confirmed their attendance, while the Liberal Democrats and Green Party are appealing for the public to join them. TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady and Mark Serwotka, head of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS), will also speak to those gathered. Demonstrators will not be permitted to march past Downing Street as part of Whitehall will be closed off, the Metropolitan Police confirmed on Monday afternoon. Organisers had initially planned to demonstrate outside the entrance to Downing Street as Mr Trump holds talks with Prime Minister Theresa May. Crowds will now stop at the north end of Whitehall with a ‘clear view of the access to Downing Street’, and proceed to Parliament Square by an alternative route. Pro-Trump protesters are warned about their language by a police officer as a verbal slanging match with anti-Trump demonstrators takes place (Picture: SWNS) Protests are also planned in Birmingham, Stoke, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Chester, Leicester, Oxford and Exeter (Picture: Getty) The Metropolitan Police said a ‘barrier plan’ will be in place across part of Whitehall just north of the Women’s War Memorial. Scotland Yard said: ‘Protesters will not be marching past Downing Street at any point. ‘This is a multi-faceted security operation, and whilst the Met has a responsibility to ensure the right to peaceful protest, this needs to be balanced with the complex requirements of this policing plan.’ Around 250,000 anti-Trump activists gathered when he flew into the UK on July 13 last year for his first visit as US president. (Picture: Getty) A man raises his middle finger while another bangs on a metal pot outside Buckingham Palace (Picture: Getty) Elsewhere across the UK, protests are also planned in Birmingham, Stoke, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Chester, Leicester, Oxford and Exeter. On Monday several visual protests were staged as the president touched down on British soil. Amnesty International unfurled five banners on Vauxhall Bridge in view of the US embassy in London. And a projection of Mr Trump’s UK approval rating on the Tower of London was organised by anti-Brexit protest group Led By Donkeys.
