Dressed in full white tie, President Trump spoke glowingly of the friendship between the US and the UK and described the 93-year-old monarch as a 'great, great woman'.

He was joined at the dinner by First Lady Melania, who dazzle din a custom Dior Couture gown with matching white gloves, and his four adult children; Ivanka, Donald Jr, Eric and Tiffany.

'We thank God for the brave sons of the United Kingdom and the United States who defeated the Nazis.

'As we honor our shared victory and heritage, we affirm the common values that will unite us long into the future; freedom, sovereignty, self-determination, the rule of law and reference to the rights given to us by almighty God.

'On behalf of all Americans I offer a toast to the eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations and truly remarkable reign of Her Majesty the Queen,' Trump said in part.

In a string of tweets before the event, the president said: 'London part of trip is going really well. The Queen and the entire Royal family have been fantastic. The relationship with the United Kingdom is very strong.

During the day, Trump only committed one notable faux pas, admitting that he did not recognize a pewter horse that he and Melania gave the Queen during a visit to Windsor last year.

Asked if he recognized it, he said: 'No!' Melania, according to reporters who were there, jumped in and reminded him: 'I think we gave that to the Queen.'

During a tour of the Royal collection, the Queen showed the Trumps the Declaration of Independence.

The particular copy being shown is one of 200 which was printed by Francis Bailey in 1781.

The book is a first edition and was published by order of Congress, of the complete constitutions of the individual states of America, the Declaration of Independence.

They are comprised of the articles of confederation between the states and the alliance between the United States and France, signed in 1778.

It also included a coloured engraved portrait of George Washington, as well as a map of New York from 1775.

The Queen also dazzled him with photos of the royal family playing golf.

Trump was shown pictures of the queen's father, George VI, and her uncle Edward VIII playing golf in Scotland.

Among other historical artifacts, Elizabeth showed the Trumps a portrait of George Washington, the first president of the United States, and a draft copy of a telegram from George VI to U.S. General Dwight Eisenhower after the D-Day invasion of France.

After their visit, Ivanka tweeted excitedly that it was a 'great honor' to have met the Queen.

OOPS! TRUMP FORGETS GIFT HE GAVE THE QUEEN During his visit to Buckingham Palace on Monday, the president was shown the Pewter horse he gifted the Queen last year while visiting Windsor. But when asked if he recognized the relic, the oblivious president replied: 'No!' First Lady Melania Trump stepped in to remind him, according to a reporter who was there, nudging: 'I think we gave that to the Queen'. Advertisement

Trump's visit to the UK is not without controversy.

Hours before he arrived, he called the Mayor of London a 'stone cold loser' and said he was 'nasty'. He also labeled Meghan Markle 'nasty' in an interview but has since denied it.

The remarks did nothing to dampen his spirit during Monday's Palace visit which Ivanka and Jared Kushner watched from a balcony.

Trump took his time as he inspected the Guard of Honour, formed by Nijmegen Company Grenadier Guards.

He walked ahead of Charles and strolled alongside Captain of the Guard Hamish Hardy.

The president stopped to chat to a number of the soldiers - who were dresses in red tunics and bearskin hats - at length.

When the royal party and their guests stepped from the palace the American national anthem was played and Trump was invited to inspect the guard of honor.

Charles accompanied the president as he strode onto the lawns to inspect the waiting troops formed up in two lines with the guardsmen wearing their famous scarlet tunics and bearskins.

Among the soldiers, who when not performing ceremonial duties are fighting servicemen, was Guardsman Joshua Young-Hastings from Wandsworth, south London.

He was the tallest soldier in the guard of honor and played American Football for the London Warriors before joining the Army.

Full details of Trump's state visit to Britain have now been revealed, including all the royals he will meet over the three days

Ivanka tweeted excitedly about the visit on Monday afternoon

The guardsman was scouted for a professional career with America's National Football League and was awarded a half scholarship with a Texas university but chose the Grenadier Guards over a sporting career.

Jeremy Hunt, the UK's Foreign Secretary, was waiting for the President at Stansted and revealed Trump talked to him about Sadiq Khan as he got off the plane.

He said: 'Let's just say he [Mr Khan] won't be getting an invite to the White House any time soon'.

Trump arrived on Air Force One at Stansted Airport, waving as he walked down the steps from the front of the jet, accompanied by the First Lady who wore a blue pencil skirt and blazer, dark sunglasses and heels.

An array of US military helicopters arrived around an hour ahead of the President's white and blue plane, which bears the US flag on the tail fin and the words United States of America.

There was a visible armed police presence around the airport and police vehicles parked alongside the runway.

Trump used his time at Winfield House before meeting the Queen to watch television and tweet about two familiar targets - 'fake news' CNN and China.

He wrote: "China is subsidizing its product in order that it can continue to be sold in the USA.

Not here to make friends: At around the same time as he arrived, Trump tweeted to call the Mayor of London a 'stone cold loser'

'Many firms are leaving China for other countries, including the United States, in order to avoid paying the Tariffs.

'No visible increase in costs or inflation, but U.S. is taking Billions!"

And 30 minutes later, he wrote: 'Just arrived in the United Kingdom.

'The only problem is that @CNN is the primary source of news available from the U.S.

'After watching it for a short while, I turned it off.

'All negative & so much Fake News, very bad for U.S. Big ratings drop. Why doesn't owner @ATT do something?'

Sadiq Khan hit back and said that Trump's comments were 'beneath' a world leader.

His spokesmam said: 'This is much more serious than childish insults which should be beneath the President of the United States.'Sadiq is representing the progressive values of London and our country, warning that Donald Trump is the most egregious example of a growing far-right threat around the globe, which is putting at risk the basic values that have defined our liberal democracies for more than 70 years.'

As he took off he mocked the height of Sadiq Khan as he took off for London from Washington last night after the city's mayor called him 'a 20th century fascist'.

'I don't think much of him. He's the twin of de Blasio except shorter,' he told DailyMail.com on the South Lawn of the White House, in response to a question about whether he would be willing to meet with Khan during his UK State Visit.

PIERS MORGAN BLASTS TRUMP PROTESTERS Piers Morgan blasted the hundreds of thousands of 'disrespectful and pathetic' activists pledging to paralyze London with mass demonstrations as Donald Trump visits Britain. More than 20,000 police officers will be deployed at 20 sites planned across the country in a security operation expected to cost about £18million ($22million) to the British taxpayer. A ring of steel surrounds central London, where agitators plan to fly an offensive 20ft blimp depicting the President as an angry baby and a 16ft talking robot of Trump sitting on a gold toilet. The main protest is being planned for close to Buckingham Palace at 5.30pm GMT (12.30pm EST)- where the Queen will be hosting a state banquet in his President's honor this evening. Piers Morgan today blasted hundreds of thousands of 'disrespectful and pathetic' activists on ITV's Good Morning Britain alongside his co-presenter Susanna Reid Protesters have pledged to cripple the UK capital because they oppose the decision to welcome Mr Trump for a state visit - only the third offered to a US president. But despite Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, Romania's Nicolae Ceausescu and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia all having the same level of pageantry - they did not face the same level of protest. Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, who is also the DailyMail.com US Editor-at-Large, said that Mr Trump's welcome from protesters is 'disrespectful and pathetic' - especially as he is here to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day. He said: 'There's something a bit warped about our values – is Trump really worse than Putin and King Salman? The Americans fought and died alongside us on D Day.' The protesters are planning to fly an offensive 20ft blimp depicting the President as an angry baby. Advertisement

Like Khan, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has a hate-hate relationship with the president. De Blasio, a towering hulk of a newly minted presidential candidate, stands at 6'5'. Khan is reportedly 5'6' tall.

Trump strode to Marine One for his departure on Sunday night, ignoring a follow-up question about whether he would be willing to meet with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Members of the The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery made their way past the front of Buckingham Palace and into Green Park ahead of firing Royal Salutes later. A military band is playing music on the palace forecourt, including the theme to the film Rocky.

Neil Clark, 39, from Woolwich in south London, joined a growing crowd outside Buckingham Palace awaiting the arrival of the president and described Trump as 'amazing'.

He said he was a 'massive fan', adding: 'Just his character, the energy he has, the passion he has. He's an amazing guy.'

Mr Clark described the prospect of protests against Trump as 'quite disrespectful' and 'quite shameful'. He described Trump's tweets about Sadiq Khan as 'justified'.

Trump's arrival will coincide with mass protests in central London against the visit on Tuesday, with the 'Trump baby' blimp made for his visit last year due to put in an appearance.

The protesters are planning to fly an offensive 20ft blimp depicting the President as an angry baby.

A 16ft talking robot of Trump sitting on a gold toilet is also expected to make an appearance.

It depicts the American leader with his trousers round his ankles while tweeting.

Trump has praised Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, talked up the prospect of a Brexit trade deal and denied making 'bad' comments about the Duchess of Sussex as he set off for Britain.

The president said he expected his three-day state visit to be 'very important' and 'very interesting' as he left the White House on Sunday evening.

Speaking to reporters over the din of his waiting Marine One helicopter, Trump was asked if he planned to meet Mr Johnson during the trip.

'Well, I think I may meet with him. He's been a friend of mine. He's been very nice. I have a very good relationship with him,' the president said of the Tory leadership hopeful.

He went on: 'I have a very good relationship with Nigel Farage, with many people over there (in the UK) and we'll see what happens. I may meet with him. They want to meet. We'll see what happens.'

Trump had created a considerable degree of political turbulence with comments on the British Conservative Party's leadership race, Brexit and the Duchess of Sussex.

Ahead of the visit, he called on Britain to leave the European Union without a deal if Brussels refuses to meet its demands and urged the Government to send Mr Farage into the negotiations.

The controversy was further exacerbated on Sunday when the US ambassador to the UK, Woody Johnson, suggested the NHS would be on the table in post-Brexit trade talks.

Addressing the prospect of a transatlantic trade deal, Trump said: '(We're) going to the UK. I think it'll be very important. It certainly will be very interesting. There's a lot going on in the UK. And I'm sure it's going to work out very well for them.

'As you know, they want to do trade with the United States, and I think there's an opportunity for a very big trade deal at some point in the near future. And we'll see how that works out.'

Even The Beast needs to fill up with gas: The President's huge 12-vehicle entourage including his $1.5m armored limousine is spotted shutting down a BP station

The US President Donald Trump managed to cause a commotion before even arriving in London this week as his $1.5million 'Beast' vehicle was spotted over the weekend at a BP gas station in London, which resulted in the road being blocked off by police in order for the vehicle to fill up ahead of the three day trip.

Passers-by spotted the President's entourage and took to Twitter to post photos of the vehicle, which was surrounded by police on motorbikes and the rest of the motorcade.

After having touched down in the UK earlier this morning, arriving by Air Force One into Stansted Airport before being ferried away on the Marine One helicopter, Trump is set to get from A-B while he is in the UK via 'Beast' car.

The Beast was spotted this morning on its way to the US Ambassador's residence in London's Regent's Park, however the President is not thought to be in the car as he was flown to Winfield House by Marine One.

The bomb-proof vehicle is a seven-seat black limousine which is designed to give the President and his family the ultimate protection.

The car, which will be surrounded by a 20-strong team of vehicles, watching the President's every move, is equipped with a night-vision camera and reinforced steel plating said to be able to resist bullets, chemical attacks and bombs.

The Cadillac has Kevlar-reinforced tires and steel rims that can keep the vehicle moving even if the tires have been destroyed. It is believed to be equipped with a Duramax diesel engine. The reason it runs on diesel is because the fuel has a low volatility, which reduces the likelihood of it exploding.

Bottles of the president's blood type are carried on board in case of a medical emergency, and a satellite phone enables communication to be maintained from anywhere in the world.

The Beast was spotted at a BP garage in London, filling up for the President's state visit. The presence of the car and its motorcade led to the area being closed

The President motorcade was seen blocking off the road while pedestrians looked on at all the vehicles which had taken up the road in order to The Beast to re-fuel

The car itself is burdened with carrying a whopping 20,000lb of Beast. The engine however is far from a rocket and the car's top speed it said to only be able to max out a typical highway speed in the US, which is around 55mph.

Working from the front to the back of the car, the chassis has steel plate bomb protection while the tyres are Kevlar-reinforced and are resistant to shredding and punctures. They are also driveable on steel rims if they happen to be destroyed.

The car is driven by a chauffeur, an elite member of the President's staff, who is trained to cope with demanding conditions, the drivers compartment has a state of the art communications centre, as well as GPS tracking.

In order to keep the passengers safe, the windows have been made up of five layers of glass and polycarbonate and can handle armor piercing bullets.

Defence accessories within the car include tear gas cannons as well as pump-action shot guns. As well as this, bags of the President's blood type are carried on board in the event of an emergency.

Keeping the President safe and secure, the doors of the vehicle are armor-plated, are 8 inches thick in order to protect him from a chemical attack.

This is while the bodywork of the care is five inch thick military grade armor. It is made up of a combination of steel, titanium, aluminium and ceramic, in order to break up any projectiles.

The motorcade (pictured above) took up the majority of the road this morning, halting buses and other traffic on its way to regents park

The graphic above shows the complexity of the President's motorcade which will accompany him around London during his state visit

The rest of the President’s entourage: The Air Force One plane and the Marine One helicopter The President of the United States is known for travelling in style, and that is just what he will do during his state visit to London. As well as the Beast, the President also frequently uses Air Force One, which is the plane he arrived in this morning at Stansted Airport. Since the 20th century it has been standard practice to refer to the plane as the one that transports the Commander-in-Chief. The plane today is one of two highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft, which carry the tail codes 28000 and 29000. The Air Force designation for the aircraft is VC-25A. It can refuel at mid-air and has electronics which are able to deal with electromagnetic pulse as well as being equipped with advanced secure communications equipment, this allows it to function as a mobile command centre. It has quarters for those accompanying the President and is maintained by the Presidential Airlift Group. This is while Marine One is flown by Marine Helicopter Squadron HMX-1,VA as well as the newer and smaller VH-60N White Hawks. The modified military helicopters are called ‘White Tops’ after their white upper accents that denote their Presidential airlift mission, also known as Marine One. It can also be the preferred mode of transport to motorcades which can be pricey and logistically difficult to manage, blocking off roads. Advertisement

The fuel tank is also armor plated so that in the event of an incident, the car will still be able to drive away and fuel will not leak from the vehicle.

In the back of the car, the rear compartment can seat the President and up to four passengers with a glass partition which only the President has the buttons to open.

The rear seats are also equipped with a satellite phone, which has a direct line to the Vice President, as well as the Pentagon, this is while the boot has a fire fighting system , tear gas and smoke screens.

Away from the vehicle itself and surrounding it for protection will be a decoy and a spare car for VIPs as well as a 'watchtower' which has lasers.

There are also support vehicles in which cabinet members, bodyguards and the President's doctor will travel in, just three cars away from the President himself.

A 'halfback' surburban car sits behind The Beast, which is complete with rear facing seats in order for it to keep watch for oncoming threats to the President.

Behind this will be a control vehicle, in which senior military aides will travel, while the care behind them will be full of secret service elite.

Behind the secret service there will be an ID car which will liase with police and behind that sits a truck, which is in place to detect for nuclear threats and biological weapons.

Then there is the roadrunner, this makes sure the President has access to communications, in the event he wants to launch nuclear weapons.

At the back of the motorcade there is a cameraman filming the presidents car as well as an ambulance

At the very front of the entourage sits police cars which act as sweepers, guiding other road users and pedestrians.
