Donald Trump's Presidential convoy has been forced to drive past an inflatable blimp of himself as a screaming, orange, nappy-clad baby.

Armoured limo The Beast was pelted with boos - and some shouts of support - as it passed the eye-catching effigy hovering over Parliament Square.

And it came just hours after Donald Trump claimed he hadn't seen big protests in the capital.

Despite the Mall being cleared of people by police restrictions, Trump claimed he'd seen "tremendous crowds of well-wishers".

He added: "Haven’t seen any protests yet, but I’m sure the Fake News will be working hard to find them.

"Great love all around."

Matt Bonner, a 36-year-old who designed the balloon, told the Mirror: “Donald Trump is very good at making up his own reality and he’s a notorious liar.

"There is quite clearly a large anti-Trump sentiment here in the UK.”

First designed last year, the blimp took flight at 10am today a few feet from a statue of Trump's beloved WW2 hero Winston Churchill.

Organisers - who raised £30,000 for causes Trump opposes such as abortion rights - had permission to fly the blimp at up to 100ft.

But due to strong winds it hovered only a few feet off the ground, with most of the early observers dominated by 'Trump babysitters' in red overalls and journalists.

Even so, that meant it was in full view when the President's immense convoy - which includes an ambulance containing his blood - passed by on the way to nearby 10 Downing Street.

Separate protests were also taking place in cities across Britain and thousands attended a protest in Trafalgar Square.
