An enormous inflatable Donald Trump baby has been granted permission to fly above London during the US President's visit to the UK.

The six-metre tall balloon portrays Trump as an angry infant, complete with a nappy and a whisp of blonde hair.

London mayor Sadiq Khan's Greater London Authority today approved a request for the blimp to take to the skies next weekend.

It came after thousands of people signed a petition calling on the council to grant permission, and a crowdfunding campaign raised more than £16,000 to get the protest off the ground.

But strict restrictions will be in place for the bulbous baby, which must be tethered to the ground at all times, and cannot be flown at a height of more than 30 metres.

It's flight will coincide with the 'Stop Trump' March in central London on Friday, July 13th.

A spokesperson for Sadiq Khan said: "The Mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms.

"His city operations team have met with the organisers and have given them permission to use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp."
