Nearly 250,000 activists descended on the streets of central London today to protest Donald Trump's visit to the UK, organisers said.
Protesters marched through the capital carrying placards reading "Dump Trump" and "Star Spangled Gobs***".
Aerial images showed the streets of central London from Portland Place to Trafalgar Square packed with tens of thousands of people taking part.
Stop Trump, the group which organised the biggest march, said that there were 250,000 people taking part.
The day began with the unveiling of the Trump baby blimp in Parliament Square, which was crowdfunded by campaigners furious that Mr Trump was being welcomed to the UK.
The balloon, which depicts Mr Trump wearing a nappy and carrying a mobile phone, was later pictured among the marching crowds.
Later, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn addressed crowds at a rally in Trafalgar Square and was received with enthusiasm.
"We are asserting our right to demonstrate, our right to free speech," he said.
Mr Corbyn said Sadiq Khan deserves support and not condemnation. "Human rights belong to all of us," he added.
Mr Corbyn said the message of the demonstration was "one of solidarity". He added: "When we unite together with common objectives, we can all win."
The crowd applauded him warmly and chanted "Oh, Jeremy Corbyn".
Into the evening several protesters jumped into the fountain in the centre of the square to cool off and kids followed suit - splashing in the shallow water.
Braver members of the crowd climbed up to the top and protested from there.
While activists were making their feelings known in central London, the President was meeting with Theresa May at Chequers for talks on trade, Brexit and Nato. He later took tea with the Queen at Windsor Castle.

But they couldn’t muster 250,000 to rally for Tommy Robinson?
Spit.
“250,000”
My f##king arse.
They seem awfully proud their leaders can throw them in prison for speaking.
Millions who love him stayed home and didn’t protest.
Muzzie run londonstan...
The BBC feeds these Cretans what they want them to know and they still cant hold a thought. From the questioning in the crowd I would say they have a good grasp on absolutely nothing. This is globalism at its best
BBC=CNN
Total BS Fake News, just like the Fake News that claimed that little 20 foot wide balloon “filled the London skyline!”
So what. I am surprised only 250,00 showed up. London is a liberal, islamist infested shithole now and the people there seem to love it.
Almost enough stupidity to make one root for the Krauts...
Who cares? Ignore the low IQ creatures.
Londoners are actually so stupid they think lying down to have Muslims slash off their heads and rape their children is a good idea because it shows the brotherhood of the human family’s togetherness. Crazy!

Tens of thousands doesn’t equal 250,000.

Enjoy your existence as an EU vassal state everyone. You could have been an equal in a free trade agreement with the U.S.
there were not even 25 hundred
“Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn addressed crowds at a rally in Trafalgar Square and was received with enthusiasm”
Of course they did.
Did a quarter million show up to protest when Lee Rigby, a british Army soldier, was gutted in southeast London by a Muzzie?
Yea, I didn’t think so. F the liberal arseholes
not protesting acid tossing, driving vehicles into crowds, killing cops, random stabbing. Protesting the guy who stands against all of that.
