Thousands of people marched through London on Wednesday to protest against U.S. President Donald Trump's state visit to Britain while a much smaller crowd gathered outside the royal Windsor Castle west of the capital to give him a warm welcome.
Trump was paying Britain an unprecedented second state visit, and was treated to displays of royal pageantry, including a carriage procession in Windsor and a grand military parade.
While all that was happening, a 'Trump Not Welcome' protest took place 25 miles (40 km) away in central London organised by the Stop Trump Coalition and supported by other organisations including Amnesty International, women's associations such as Abortion Rights, and pro-Palestinian activists.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has struck up an unlikely friendship with Trump, the president still divides public opinion. A YouGov poll showed 45% thought it was wrong to invite Trump, while 30% said it was the right move.
More than 1,600 police officers were deployed to deal with the protest. Police said around 5,000 people took part.
A spokesperson for the Stop Trump Coalition said the rally was a chance to show the government and the world that "Britain rejects hate, division and authoritarianism".
