Thousands protest against Trump's second UK state visit

Thousands of people have gathered in Parliament Square for a rally against US President Donald Trump's second state visit.

Organisers Stop Trump Coalition - a group of more than 50 unions and charities - marched from central London's Portland Place towards Whitehall at around 15:00 BST.

Some protesters carried signs with slogans written across them including "no to racism", "no to Trump" and "stop arming Israel".

Others carried smaller versions of the 20ft Trump Baby blimp that floated through crowds during protests against the president's first state visit in 2019.

The Metropolitan Police estimated that up to 5,000 people were in attendance.
