Watch as anti-Donald Trump protesters march through central London
Cheers, banners and smoke machines were spotted on Regent Street in central London this afternoon.
Thousands of people are currently protesting Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK.
The President is currently enjoying a royal welcome in Windsor alongside the First Lady, Melania.
Extraordinary scenes were recorded in central London this afternoon (September 17) as protesters marched along Regent Street on their way to Whitehall.
The march will conclude in Parliament Square, where rallies will take place from 5pm. The protest has been organised by the Stop Trump Coalition - a band of UK campaigners who oppose the current President.
The protest saw thousands of people march against Donald Trump and his policies, which included views on immigration and free speech.
Similar scenes broke out in 2019 when the President made his first state visit to the UK, hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.
Protest paraphernalia included banners with phrases such as “Trump not welcome”, “No to Racism”, and “Hate Never Made Us Great.”
There were also several appearances from ‘Baby Trump’, although the large-scale blimp which flew over London in 2019 was not there.
Met Police were spotted monitoring the protest, and several police helicopters could be heard swirling above Regent Street.
