Anti-Trump protesters have taken over central London as more than 100,000 people have taken to the streets to demonstrate against the Presidential visit.

Police are urging the public to stay away from Trafalgar Square as the area is almost at full capacity.

Scuffles broke out near Whitehall earlier as tempers flared between campaigners and pro-Trump supporters.

Celebrities and politicians were among the famous faces to join the thousands including the leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn and former Labour party leader Ed Miliband.



The marchers banged out a wall of noise as they headed from London's west end to Parliament Square in a loud carnival atmosphere of drumming and cheering.

They started outside the BBC's headquarters at the top of Regent Street before marching down Regent's Street and filling Trafalgar Square.

Hours after he landed in London for a four-day tour of the UK, President Trump said he felt 'unwelcome' in the capital and said the blimp made in his likeness was to blame.

The day of demonstrations began with a giant baby blimp caricature of an angry Mr Trump being flown in Parliament Square.

While the president did not personally witness the blimp's flight, he did say it had made him 'feel unwelcome' in London.

Protesters said it was an accurate representation of his politics, which Mexican Paul Fonseca, 23, of Camden, north London, described as 'so immature'.

The Together Against Trump march followed the Women's March, which used the hashtag Bring The Noise, earlier on Friday afternoon, during which pots and pans were bashed and chanting erupted from the crowd against a backdrop of drumming and cheering.

Immigration, the treatment of refugee women, equal rights for women and people of different sexes were among the topics raised and organisers of that demo said more than 80,000 people had turned out.

Scotland Yard said there had been no arrests by 3.30pm at the women's march.

The colourful march began after a choir sang, the suffragette march was played on a loudspeaker and people joined in with the songs We Are Family and Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves.

It was a carnival atmosphere among the crowd, which included babies being pushed in prams plus men and women of different ages and races.

Lucy Guy, 41, brought a handmade poster which read 'Not even your wife likes you'.

The Nottingham-born TV comedy writer, who lives in Hackney, east London, said: 'There are so many reasons to dislike Trump and one of them is that he is a massive misogynist.

'We all know that he cannot stop watching the TV so I hope he might see this and it annoys him.'

The homemade banner proudly held by Emily Darnell, 40, an executive assistant from Haywards Heath near Brighton, read 'Super Callous Fragile Racist Sexist Nazi Potus'.

She said: 'Trump is just a vile, vile man so I felt really motivated to come here.'

Protesters said they were united against Mr Trump and many had put their creative caps on with a range of colourful banners.

James O'Brien, from Co Mayo, was selling Trump toilet paper at Oxford Circus which was attracting amused passers-by.

'We thought it'd be fun,' he said.

Getting the attention of potential buyers, he said: 'The most satisfaction you can have in a toilet, kids.'

A percentage of the money raised from the toilet rolls is going towards mental health awareness.

Messages on placards included 'This is our carnival of resistance', 'No Fan of Fake Tan Man', 'How Dare You Combover here' plus 'Trump Stinks' alongside an image of a turd emoji topped off with a golden wig.

LIVE: PRESIDENT TRUMP PROTESTERS GATHER IN LONDON



LIVE

Trump, who arrived in Britain on Thursday, told The Sun newspaper that planned protests against him in London and other British cities made him feel unwelcome so he was avoiding the capital as much as possible.

TRUMP'S VISIT

President Trump is set to carry out a number of engagements across the UK today. Here is his itinerary:

8.45, London: US First Lady Melania Trump and Philip May meet veterans and school children

9am, London: Mr Trump leaves Winfield House, the US Ambassador's residence, doing a fist pump before boarding Marine One. Expected to view a joint US-UK special forces military demonstration at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

10.40am, Chequers: President Trump arrives at Chequers

13.40pm, Chequers: Joint press conference with President Trump and Theresa May

3.50pm, Windsor: The Queen to meet Trump and the US First Lady at Windsor Castle

7.40pm, Prestwick: Trump and First Lady arrive in Scotland on Air Force One

8.35pm, Turnberry: Trump and First Lady arrive at Trump Turnberry, his resort in Scotland

Trump told The Sun: 'I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London.

'I used to love London as a city. I haven't been there in a long time. But when they make you feel unwelcome, why would I stay there?'

And Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani said the London mayor 'should be ashamed of himself' for approving the giant balloon protest about the American president's imminent visit.

Giuliani said: 'Sadiq Khan should be ashamed of himself. He's so busy attacking President Trump's visit and, in the meantime, crime is spiralling in London. Maybe he should just do his job instead of attacking a world leader.'

Britain regards its close ties with the United States, which it calls the special relationship, as a pillar of its foreign policy and Prime Minister Theresa May has courted Trump ahead of the country's departure from the European Union.

But some Britons see Trump as crude, volatile, unreliable and opposed to their values on a range of issues.

A few hundred people gathered to watch the blimp launch in Parliament Square, with organisers of the stunt wearing red boiler suits and red baseball caps emblazoned with 'TRUMP BABYSITTER'.

After counting down from 10 to 1 a cheer went up as the large balloon rose to fly around 10 metres off the ground, next to parliament and the River Thames.

After the blimp went up, protesters took to the streets to denounce Trump's UK visit for stoking 'division along fault lines of fear and hatred'.

Pots and pans were bashed and a loud chorus of 'say it loud, say it proud - Donald Trump's not welcome here' erupted from the crowd against a backdrop of drumming and cheering.

'Call that a blimp?' Social media mocks Baby Trump balloon which was taken down after just two hours


A much vaunted baby Trump blimp which flew above Parliament ahead of thousands of protesters marching through the capital has been labelled a damp squib by social media.

Anti-Trump protesters stirred controversy with the 20ft high inflatable caricature, which depicted the leader as an angry infant wearing a nappy and clutching a mobile phone and floated among statues of revered world leaders including Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.
But as it was taken down after two hours, it was ridiculed by Twitter users who called the blimp 'pathetic' and a 'waste of money.'

It was given the green light by London Mayor Sadiq Khan in a move branded 'utterly pathetic, pointless and graceless' by MP Sir Nicholas Soames as it hovered near the statue of his grandfather Sir Winston Churchill.

A woman in whiteface and a clown's outfit had a banner which declared 'Clowns Against Trump' on one side and a plea to end child detention on the other.

Inge Kjemtrup, chair of Democrats Abroad, said she felt it was 'extremely exciting' to be an American in London and seeing so many people come out in protest of the US President.

She said: 'These people are objecting to Trump and his policies. His policies are anti-immigration, anti-health and harmful. They are protesting all the horrible things he is doing to divide people on all kinds of grounds such as religious.

'We want to let overseas Americans know they should vote in the mid-terms to do something about it.'

Women's rights activist Sadia Abdi of ActionAid Somaliland said: 'Women have suffered enough. Violence against women is such a shameful act of cowardice. Trump and other leaders - if you condone it, commit it or remain silent, you will be held accountable.'

Actress Samantha Bond, who has played Miss Moneypenny in James Bond films, earlier tweeted her support for the march saying: 'Donald Trump has devastated funding for women's health in the poorest countries, refuses asylum to women fleeing domestic violence + is undermining human rights worldwide.'

Former Lib Dem deputy prime minister Sir Nick Clegg said he would also be among the crowds of demonstrators, writing: 'Right, I'm going on the anti-Trump demo. I had no intention to but his crazed attacks on the EU, Nato, and WTO have changed things.

'Plus his best UK pals are Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Piers Morgan. He dislikes everything I believe in and believes in everyone I dislike!

'Donald Trump has every right to visit. We have every right to say he's wrong.'

Despite the ridicule after, demonstrators voiced their support as the blimp went up.

Brett Kirchner, 25, from North Carolina, said: 'As an American, I think it's great. It's a peaceful way of protesting and there are a lot of people who agree with it.

'Back home in the States, there will be some who are very upset about this protest and who think it's insulting. I have been asked to send photos back though, not everyone likes Trump.'

Speaking in Parliament Square, Jason Caines, 50, from Pimlico, central London, said of the Blimp: 'It's good. It needs to be done because he's a bigot and a racist. He shouldn't be president, it should have been Hillary Clinton.'

Brian Bass, 48, originally from California, who now lives in Muswell Hill, north London, added: 'I'm just enjoying the spectacle of the blimp. I'm very excited to see people this upset on this side of the pond. It's great that Trump is now in a country where there's proper freedom of speech. He's been hiding in countries where they can't protest.'

Paul Fonseca, 23, who is originally from Mexico but now lives in Camden, north London, said: 'I think it's hilarious. It's an accurate representation of his politics which are so immature. He never enters into adult discussion.'

Although he may not be a fan of the blimp, it looks like it'll be following him as he ventures to Scotland later this week.

Protesters are planning to transport the balloon to Scotland overnight to fly it at Trump's Turnberry golf course, where he is set to play on Saturday, according to The Hill.

Police Scotland says, however, that protesters are not allowed to fly the balloon at the estate during the president's visit.

'Clearly there is a significant protection operation in place for the president and this includes restrictions to the airspace in the Turnberry area.

'We need to ensure there is a balance between protection and public safety and the public's right to peacefully protest,' Assistant Chief Constable Mark Williams said.

'With that in mind and on this occasion we are unable to grant permission for the balloon to fly in that area, however we are in discussion with the applicants about possible alternatives,' he added.

He proceeded to throw jabs at Mayor Khan, not only for allowing the baby blimp to fly above protests in London that are set to take place this week during his stay, but also for his criticism on Trump's travel ban on citizens from predominately Muslim countries, according to USA Today.

'You have a mayor who has done a terrible job in London. He has done a terrible job. Take a look at the terrorism that is taking place. Look at what is going on in London,' Trump said.

'He might not like the current president, but I represent the United States,' he added.
