Details have been revealed of Donald Trump's visit to the UK next week.
It has been confirmed the US President will meet Queen Elizabeth, while he will also spend two days in Scotland.
However, he will spend most of the trip away from London in an apparent bid to avoid the major protests being planned for the British capital during the trip.
While 'Stop Trump' demonstrations will be held in England, Scotland and Wales, organisers are hoping tens of thousands will take part in the mass 'carnival of resistance' protest in London on the Friday afternoon.
Yesterday, it was confirmed that a group of activists have been given permission to fly a 'Baby Trump' balloon near the Houses of Parliament on the Friday morning.

US Ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson, however, said the visit will be a "great display of the special relationship" between the two countries.
