Trump UK visit live: US President due lands in Britain after praising King Charles

The activist group Led By Donkeys may be responsible for a series of mocking images of Donald Trump projected on Tuesday night onto Windsor Castle, marking the arrival of the US president for a much-watched state visit, according to news reports.

The projections included videos and pictures of Trump and his former associate Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender and financier.

“Hey Donald, welcome to Windsor Castle,” the group wrote on its Instagram on Tuesday night, along with a photo of one of the projections.

Four people were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of malicious communications for allegedly projecting images onto Windsor Castle as a “public stunt,” according to police.

On Tuesday night, ahead of a Wednesday visit from US president Donald Trump, giant images of the Republican alongside the late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein were beamed onto the castle.

Four people were arrested Tuesday for alleged malicious communications, after using a projection in a “public stunt” at Windsor Castle, according to police.

“We take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously. Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and four people have been arrested,” Thames Valley Police Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker said in an online statement.

“We are conducting a thorough investigation with our partners into the circumstances surrounding this incident and will provide further updates when we are in a position to do so.”

RAF personnel from The King’s Colour Squadron lined up as Donald Trump stepped off Air Force One at Stansted Airport, forming a guard of honour.

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper was among those assembled near the foot of the aircraft to meet the president off the plane.

He was also met by the US Ambassador, Warren Stephens, and Viscount Hood, Lord-in-Waiting to the King.

Donald Trump briefly spoke to reporters after arriving at the US ambassador’s residence in London.

He gave a thumbs up and said he had a “great flight” and said tomorrow would be a “very good day”.
