Thousands of protesters today to took to the streets of London to call on the Prime Minister to end her 'collusion' with US President Donald Trump.

The demonstration was organised by groups including the Stop the War Coalition, Stand Up to Racism and the Muslim Association of Britain.

One man, apparently from the US, was filmed burning his passport in protest at the President's controversial measures.

Marchers called on Theresa May to withdraw her controversial invitation of a state visit to Mr Trump and denounced his travel ban as 'racist'.

Similar protests were held in cities across the UK, and thousands rallied against the US President in Paris and Berlin.

In a video message played to the thousands gathered on Whitehall, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Trump's state visit invite 'should be withdrawn until the executive orders are gone and every element of them repealed'.

He said: 'I support the campaign of millions of people in Britain that Donald Trump should not be welcomed on a state visit to this country.'

He said the crowds stood in 'solidarity' with 'our friends all over the USA who share our views and our values, who are standing with minority communities under attack'.

Mr Corbyn, who thanked the protesters for 'standing up for what is right', added: 'Theresa May and the Conservatives are on the wrong side of history.'

Hours later, Mr Trump introduced a 90-day travel ban on residents from seven predominantly Muslim countries - Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen - to stop 'radical Islamic terrorists' from coming to America.

But the move has been heavily criticised, and a petition calling on the government to stop Trump making a state visit because it would cause 'embarrassment' to the Queen has received more than 1.8 million signatures.

Downing Street rejected claims the Queen has been put in a difficult position due to the invitation, and insisted the state visit would go ahead this year.

Since the ban was announced, there have been protests at several US airports where travellers were being held, including at least 2,000 protesters at New York's Kennedy International Airport, while thousands took to the streets of the UK amid anger over the ban.

John Rees, co-founder of Stop the War Coalition, said there were almost 40,000 people at the demonstration which showed that 'the government has got a very, very big problem with the state visit'.

He said Mrs May had a choice to either 'insult the American president, or insult a majority of people in this country who don't share that president's views on practically any issue you care to mention'.

Mr Rees added: 'He (Mr Trump) thinks one way about women, most people in this country don't share that view. He thinks one way about Muslims, most people don't share that view.

"She's got a choice: she can either insult him, or us.'

Azad Ali, director of engagement at Muslim Engagement and Development, said the march aimed to let 'anyone that is peddling hate know that it is not going to be tolerated and that as a society and a community we will all live together, side by side, peacefully'.

Weyman Bennett, joint convener for Stand Up to Racism, added that if the state visit went ahead, people, rather than a red carpet, would be 'rolled out in our millions to say you're not welcome and your policies are not welcome'.

Kevin Courtney, National Union of Teachers (NUT) general secretary, told the crowds that Mr Trump's policies were aimed at 'stoking up fear'.

He said that the 'fear and division' was evident in schools and told the masses gathered: 'I'm here to say that every teacher should be involved in the campaign against Trump.'

Dawn Butler, Labour MP for Brent Central, told the crowds that Mrs May needed to 'understand the responsibility' of the UK's relationship with the US.

She added: 'The answer isn't walls and the answer isn't bans'.

The crowds marched down Park Lane - filling the length of the famous London street - and along Piccadilly towards Downing Street.
