    We've actually just seen two military helicopters over central London. While the Trumps were on one of them, the other was in effect a decoy, for security reasons.

    In any case, here is one of them preparing to land.

    The president and First Lady Melania will have a meet and greet at the US ambassador's residence.

    Mr Trump cancelled a planned visit to open the newly-relocated US Embassy at the beginning of the year.

    He said it was a "bad deal" to move from Grosvenor Square, in prestigious Mayfair, to what he described as an "off location" at Nine Elms, south of the River Thames.

    Donald Trump, arriving an hour or so later than expected, steps on to UK soil for the first time since becoming US president in 2016.

  14. Embassy revs up for visitpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time 12 July 2018

    Early this afternoon loud music could be heard playing from the grounds of Mansfield House, the US ambassador’s residence in Regent's Park, north London, our correspondent Camilla Horrox says.

    Walking around the security fence erected to protect the residence during Mr Trump's visit, the empowering lyrics of Frank Sinatra’s I Did it My Way could clearly be heard, along with Elvis Presley’s You Will Never Walk Alone and Adele’s Skyfall.

    Quite the welcoming soundtrack for Donald Trump’s imminent arrival, or perhaps a sound barrier to any impromptu protests?

    A giant inflatable depicting Mr Trump as a baby may be making an appearance in Scottish skies.

    The Trump Baby balloon has already been given permission to fly over central London during Mr Trump's visit.

    Police Scotland have now been asked to allow the 6m (20ft) high helium balloon to also fly over Mr Trump's Turnberry golf course in Ayrshire.

  19. A wall for Donaldpublished at 13:37 British Summer Time 12 July 2018

    As a part of extra security measures for Mr Trump, a mesh wall has gone up around Winfield House in Regent's Park.

    Thousands of protesters - and the Trump baby blimp - are expected to show up at the central London location during the US president's stay.

    US ambassador to the UK, Woody Johnson, said there was no deliberate plan to keep Mr Trump away from protests.

    Groups organising them on Friday have vowed to "be heard", whether he is in the capital or not.

  20. Guess who's coming to dinnerpublished at 13:28 British Summer Time 12 July 2018

    Expect big names from big business to be cosying up around the table with Mr Trump tonight.

    Our business reporter Jamie Robertson understands Richard Gnodde, the European boss of Goldman Sachs, and Steve Hatch of Facebook UK are going.

    Jes Staley, the chief executive of Barclays, will also be there.

    Insurer Legal and General was happy to admit that not one, but two, executives are going: chief executive Nigel Wilson, and head of personal investing, Helena Morrissey.

    The only one to publicly refuse the invitation was digital entrepreneur and philanthropist Baroness Martha Lane-Fox.

    "I understand why the government has to entertain Trump, but I certainly don't want to," she said.
