The paraglider from the environmental group Greenpeace is believed to have been within 100 metres of Donald Trump.

Mr Stewart said: "We phoned them, we had someone on the police line who informed them. They knew we were coming in and we've done this kind of thing a few times before."

"We thought it was important that the president actually saw a real-life protester.

"There's tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of people on the streets around the UK. He's gone from place to place in his helicopter kind of like a visiting dignitary in Afghanistan, not wanting to see any real people.

"So we put a protester over his head with a big banner at a golf course saying #Trump you're below par' because he is probably the worst president ever."

Comedian Martin Mor from northern Ireland has joined protesters at Donald trump's Turnberry resort.

The large balloon of Donald Trump will be flown at a protest in Edinburgh later.

It prompted Mr Trump to say it made him "feel unwelcome" in the city, on his second day of a four-day UK visit.

Campaigners confirmed the blimp will fly in the Meadows, where a protest march against the US presidents ends, from around noon.

An Edinburgh City Council spokeswoman: "The council, Police Scotland and the Civil Aviation Authority were happy to give it the go-ahead as there were no security concerns."

Police are reminding us that this is not a fortress... the hotel in fact is open to other guests.

There's a wedding this weekend. I'm sure there will be golfers out by now - certainly I saw golfers yesterday.

It's a bit of a game of tig going on here.

You have sundry protesters trying to get in or as close as they possibly can to president of the US who is staying at the resort, which he happens to own, and very many police and other officials are trying to prevent them from doing so.

The visit of Donald and Melania Trump has dominated the newspapers today.

This is the moment a paragliding protester visited Turnberry last night.

The White House has now deleted a tweet which referred to President Trump "departing the UK" as he flew to Scotland.

Trade Secretary Liam Fox says protesters against Donald Trump were an embarrassment to themselves.

A microlight flyer managed to approach very close to the Turnberry Hotel, towing a banner saying Donald Trump was "well below par". Police are trying to trace the individual involved, who is thought to be associated with Greenpeace.

The US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania have spent the first night of their UK visit at Turnberry Hotel on Scotland's Ayrshire coast.

Mr Trump is expected to play golf at Turnberry, the links course that he bought four years ago.

On Friday he met Prime Minister Theresa May at Chequers and The Queen at Windsor.

The White House says that the Scottish part of his visit is "private" and comes ahead of his scheduled meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday.

Now President Trump has arrived in Scotland, his day in the spotlight of UK politics is nearly at a end.

And it certainly has been eventful, beginning with some dramatic newspaper headlines following his interview with The Sun in which appeared to rip up the diplomatic playbook by criticising Theresa May's Brexit plans and suggesting a US-UK trade deal was off.

It was then on to what seemed likely to be an awkward meeting at the PM's country residence, Chequers. But Mr Trump ended up saying a "great" deal could be on after all while lavishing praise on Mrs May at a press conference the BBC's North America editor says was like watching the Wacky Races.

BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg saw it as a difficult day for Mrs May - but not a disaster, while our Reality Check team has assessed just what challenges lie ahead for a UK-US trade deal.
