On Monday several visual protests were staged as the president touched down on British soil (Picture: AP/ Getty) Thousands of protesters will line streets across the UK today to protest against the state visit of President Donald Trump. In London, 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’. As well as in London, protests are set to take place across Birmingham, Stoke, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Chester, Leicester, Oxford and Exeter. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming demonstrations… President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump leave Westminster Abbey in London (Picture: AP) Where will the London protests be? Demonstrators will be gathering in Trafalgar Square after a huge police and security operation barred them from demonstrating directly outside Downing Street. Organisers had initially planned to demonstrate outside the entrance to the street as Mr Trump holds talks with Prime Minister Theresa May. However 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. What time will they begin? Organisers of the Together Against Trump protest have billed it a ‘carnival of resistance’. Demonstrators will begin gathering at Trafalgar Square from 11am to declare a ‘Trump-free zone’. Will the giant Trump baby fly? Yes. Today 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.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is expected to make an appearance to address those demonstrating against Mr Trump’s policies on the second day of his visit. TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady and Mark Serwotka, head of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS), will also speak to those gathered. 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. Climate change activists, students, pacifists, trade union members and families will also gather. 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. What areas are off limits? 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. 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.’ 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 (Picture: AFP) How many people are expected? Thousands! 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. 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. Where else in the UK will the protests be? Elsewhere across the UK, protests are also planned in Birmingham, Stoke, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Chester, Leicester, Oxford and Exeter.
