  2. What's the plan for this evening?published at 17:03 British Summer Time 3 June 2019

    After tea at Clarence House, the US president and first lady will head back to Winfield House - the Regent's Park home of the US ambassador where the couple are staying.

    Normally the visiting head of state would stay at the east wing of Buckingham Palace but that's currently under refurbishment meaning a lot more coming and going than usual, says BBC News royal correspondent Daniela Relph.

    After a couple of hours of downtime, Mr and Mrs Trump are due to leave Winfield House and fly by helicopter to Buckingham Palace for the state banquet.

    The first pictures from the state banquet are expected at around 20:30 BST - with glimpses of more members of the Royal Family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

    Mr Trump is also due to give a speech to the guests at tonight's dinner, before the banquet becomes private.

    Protester Suzi Warren

    The main anti-Trump protest in London is scheduled for Tuesday from 11:00 BST, but critics of the president are already out on the streets of the capital.

    In Trafalgar Square ahead of Monday evening’s smaller protest, Londoner Suzi Warren - who is here today because she’s busy tomorrow - tells the BBC that Donald Trump makes her “toes curl”.

    “I find his views reprehensible - his misogynistic ones, his racist ones - it’s incomprehensible to me that he has made it anywhere near the Oval Office.”

    She adds: “The UK is in a really bad position and somehow may now be reliant on him. It’s hugely embarrassing and we have shown no self respect.”

  8. Khan's comments 'an absolute disgrace' - Rees-Moggpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 3 June 2019

    Jacob Rees-Mogg

    Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg says Sadiq Khan's comments about President Donald Trump are "an absolute disgrace".

    On Sunday the mayor of London described the US president as "one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat" and compared the language he has used to that of the "fascists of the 20th century".

    Mr Trump responded by saying Mr Khan had done a "terrible job" as London Mayor.

    Mr Rees-Mogg tells the BBC: "To compare someone who is democratically elected to mass murders from the 1930s is something Sadiq Khan should be ashamed of.

    “He demeans London, he demeans his office, he demeans himself.”

    He adds that the US president is “completely entitled to retaliate to somebody who has behaved so disgracefully”.

  16. Twitter users question Trump 'fist bump'published at 15:53 British Summer Time 3 June 2019

    Twitter users have revelled in a chance to poke fun at the president by suggesting he fist bumped the Queen.

    Jokers took advantage of a photo (below) taken at a particular angle to suggest Mr Trump opted for the far-from-formal greeting.

    Such a move would be a severe breach of royal etiquette.

    Etiquette expert Diana Mather told BBC Radio 5 Live earlier that other forbidden actions by visiting dignitaries when meeting the Queen include kissing her, walking in front of her, and talking over the national anthem.

  19. President 'determined to not put a foot wrong'published at 15:44 British Summer Time 3 June 2019

    BBC News Channel

    Royal writer and journalist Robert Hardman - who was among those in the room when the Queen was showing Mr Trump items from the Royal Collection - said the president was "absolutely determined to not put a foot wrong".

    "Very unusually we had to struggle to hear a single word he said because he was listening very intently as the Queen showed him round an exhibition sort of charting UK-American relations," said Mr Hardman.

    "As these things go it was pretty informal. There was a lot of talk about the pictures on the wall...the president was very struck by a Rembrandt, and asked for a little more detail on that."
