Trump 'wants the pomp and ceremony'

The president is more interested in the "pomp and ceremony, in tea and state banquets with the royals” rather than interfering with British politics, according to Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

But before Mr Trump even set foot on British soil, he told the UK to back Boris Johnson, hire Nigel Farage and sue the EU before leaving without a deal.

Pageantry and protest to come

The first day of the state visit will be dominated by colour and pageantry at Buckingham Palace.

The Queen's welcome may not be echoed across the land though, as many protesters are expected to take to the streets to express their opposition to Donald Trump's presidency.

The president will fly by helicopter to attend almost all engagements, keeping well away from any protests.

'A divisive president is visiting a divided state'

President Trump will arrive at Stansted Airport in the next two hours, where he will be met by Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt - who will be the first of the Conservative Party leadership candidates to shake the president's hand.

But as BBC News' diplomatic correspondent James Robbins says we don’t know how many others the president will encounter - and will Mr Hunt's predecessor, Boris Johnson, be one of them? Mr Trump praised the former foreign secretary in an interview with the Sun newspaper on Saturday.
