Around 70,000 people are expected to descend on central London to protest against Donald Trump when arrives in the UK for an official visit.

Demonstrators will make their way through the city on the “Stop Trump” march before a large rally takes place in Trafalgar Square.

The organisers have described the protest as part of a “carnival of resistance” taking place across the UK in response to the US president’s visit.

Mr Trump is due to land at around 1pm on Thursday at Stansted Airport fresh from a Nato summit in Brussels.

During the visit, he will stay at the US Ambassador’s residence in Regent’s Park before dinner at Blenheim Palace where he will attend a black tie dinner.

On Friday 13, he will meet with Theresa May at Chequers before joining the Queen at Windsor Castle.

When is the protest?

The national Stop Trump protest is due to take place in central London on Friday 13 July.

Demonstrators will assemble outside the BBC building in Portland Place at 2pm.

What’s going to happen?

After assembling in Portland Place at 2pm, protesters will march through Oxford Circus and down Regent Street before ending in Trafalgar Square.

A rally is set to take place in the square from 5pm to 7pm.

Who is organising it?

The demonstration is organised by Stop Trump, a coalition of individuals and organisations who joined forces in 2017 to protest the US president’s planned visit to the UK.

Author Owen Jones has been heavily involved with organising the protest and encouraging people to attend on social media.

Will a giant inflatable Trump baby really be flown above London?

Activists have crowdfunded enough money to pay for a giant inflatable of Mr Trump as a baby, which they will fly above the city during Mr Trump’s visit.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan and City Hall gave the green light for the blimp to be flown near Parliament during the visit.

However it still could be taken down on the day, with both the Met Police and National Air Traffic Service retaining the power to remove it.

Organisers hope crowds will be able to see the blimp “peeping over” from Downing Street and if it flies high enough it may be visible from the bank of the Thames on the south side, across Westminster Bridge.

What is the best way to get there?

Coaches have been organised to ferry people to the protest from all over the country, including Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Plymouth.

In London, planned industrial action on the Piccadilly line has been cancelled.

There will be road closures due to the protests. Charing Cross Road between Tottenham Court Road station and Demark Street will be shut.

In addition, roads in the St James' Park area including The Mall, Constitution Hill, Birdcage Walk, Spur Road and Horse Guards Road will be closed.

Are there any other protests in London this weekend?

A women's march is also due to take place on Friday.

It will form at 11am in Portland Place and move off at 12.30 and will end with its own rally in Parliament Square between 2pm and 4pm.

10,000 people are expected to attend.

While on Saturday, a pro-Trump march will leave from outside the US Embassy at 10am.

It will end with its own rally in Parliament Square between 2pm and 4pm.

What else is happening across the UK?

London is not the only place set to see an anti-Trump protest.

Similar demonstrations are also due to take place on Thursday 12 July in Cambridge, Bristol, Leeds and Blenheim Palace, where the president will be dining.
