Trump visit will see one of UK's largest drone operations
By Jamie Bullen
Police will conduct one of the largest drone operations in British history and the largest policing operation since the King’s coronation in 2023.
With 55 drones and 74 pilots at their disposal the police will act as an ‘eye in the sky’ during any unfolding incidents.
There will be a 1.5 mile exclusion zone around Windsor Castle and if a member of the public is flying a drone in that zone then they can be arrested. The drones will be able to search areas difficult to access in support of police officers and dogs on the ground.
Among the drones set to be deployed is a DJI M30T model, right, worth £5,000.
Equipped with a thermal day and night camera, infrared capability and a wide angle, high-definition lens that can read a car's numberplate from 400m.
The drones can remain airborne for 30 minutes before they need to have the battery replaced.
'Trump is a narcissist who will hijack the occasion'
By Jamie Bullen
Demonstrators opposing a state visit to Britain by US President Donald Trump have gathered in Windsor today to express their 'absolute disgust'.
Kaya Mar, a professional artist from Spain who now lives in London, said he had made a dozen paintings of Trump - and felt that only a caveman depiction fit his nature.
The man is a narcissist. He will hijack the occasion, he will hijack the protocol, he won’t have any regard for his host.
The artist said the second state visit was a ‘bribe’ for a good trade deal with the USA, but the event made a ‘clown’ of King Charles.
The government wants to have a good trade relationship and how they get that is a bribe - and today is that bribe. That’s the desperation of the UK. Every country works in the national interest but there’s no need to make a clown of yourself. We shouldn’t trust him.

By Jamie Bullen
On the first day of his second state visit to the UK, Donald Trump will feted at Windsor Castle where he will receive a formal welcome from the Royal Family led by King Charles.
When he arrives in Windsor, the Trumps will be at the centre of much pomp and pageantry in an elaborate ceremony.
Here's what we can expect this afternoon
The Trumps are expected to arrive in Windsor by helicopter after spending the night at Winfield House, the home of US ambassador Warren Stephens.

They will be greeted on the royal estate by the Prince and Princess of Wales who will then escort them to meet King Charles and Queen Camilla

The couples will then embark on a carriage procession through the grounds to Windsor Castle

At the castle, the King and President will be greeted by a Guard of Honour consisting of the Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards and the Scots Guards

REBECCA ENGLISH: Trump is clear admirer of King Charles and 'good-looking' William
By Jamie Bullen
by Rebecca English, Royal Editor at Windsor Castle
President Trump has made no secret of his admiration for King and the heir to the throne, having met them both several times previously.
He and the King have also exchanged letters, leading Trump to describe King Charles as a gracious and elegant man.
Similarly in December 2024, following a private sit down in Paris, the US leader described Prince William as a ‘good-looking guy’, ‘very handsome’ and said they had ‘great, great’ talks.
In advance of his arrival in London on Tuesday night the President also spoke of how much he was looking forward to the visit and of his admiration for the King.
He also couldn’t help boasting about the extraordinary levels of pomp and pageantry being laid on for him by His Majesty, the British government and the military - and even appeared to claim that Windsor was being laid on for him as a venue for the first time ever.
There’s certainly one thing President Trump was right about - Windsor is special.
Boasting 1,000 years of history and walls studded with armour, military regalia, halbards and pikes, it’s an extraordinarily special location for a State Visit.
But no-one in the Royal Household was rushing to tell him that that President Macron of France had got there first less than eight weeks ago.
Historically, Queen Elizabeth also hosted several State Visits at the castle herself, although in recent years they have tended to be held at Buckingham Palace.
For the next couple of years the official royal residence in London is out of action for such large scale entertaining during the latter stages of major building works, however.
Coldstream Guard admits 'nerves' ahead of Trump welcome
By Jamie Bullen
Coldstream Guard members rehearse ahead of Trump's visit
Lieutenant Colonel Storm Green, a South African officer of the Coldstream Guards in the British Army, has said there are 'nerves' before commanding the guard of honour at Windsor Castle.
Lt Col Green will give the guard of honour’s commands during the ceremonies before inviting US President Donald Trump to inspect the troops.
He told the PA news agency:
There are some nerves but that sort of apprehension makes you feel alive and like it’s an important event, which it is. It’s certainly the biggest state visit that I’ve taken part in, so there’s been a bit more rehearsal than normal, slightly different movements and dimensions I suppose than usual.
So lots of rehearsal, lots of shining of kits, lots of discussion, lots of co-ordination behind the scenes, which luckily isn’t my role today because that’s definitely the most difficult bit of it, so plenty of preparation.
Big events like this, even if you have a small role, you obviously want to do it well and show yourself off, show your organisation off and show your country off in best possible light, so I’m keen to get it right.

Sadiq Khan branded 'embarrassing' over Trump criticism
By Jamie Bullen
Broadcaster Piers Morgan has branded Sir Sadiq Khan as 'tedious' and 'embarrassing' over his criticism of Donald Trump.
Morgan, who has previously described himself as a friend of the US President, made the remarks after Khan said Trump had 'fanned the flames of the far-right'.
It comes ahead of a major protest in the capital against Trump's state visit with more than 1,600 police officers deployed across London.
Farage confirms he won't see Trump during UK visit
By Jamie Bullen
Nigel Farage has confirmed he will not meet Donald Trump during his UK state visit.
Asked by TalkTV whether he would see Trump in the next 48 hours, the Reform leader said: 'No, sadly not'.
It comes after Farage was pictured in the Oval Office with Trump earlier this month after speaking at a congressional hearing in Washington.
Farage added:
I saw him a couple of weeks ago when I was in DC but I’ve not been invited to the dinner tonight. They thought it was more suitable to ask Ed Davey. Don’t ask me why, he’s boycotted it.
So no, I won’t be seeing him. But I did last night speak to Marco Rubio and I did last night speak to Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary. I mean, these guys have got big plans. We’re going to hear about big investments in Britain for Microsoft.
We’re gonna hear about nuclear deals, all of which is good, but it does make me wonder – why are we, ourselves, not pushing our own nuclear industry?

Campaigners take aim at Trump after Epstein stunt at Windsor Castle
By Jamie Bullen
Led By Donkeys, the political campaign group, has appeared to take credit for a stunt which saw the face of paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.
In a post on Instagram, the group posted a picture of Epstein and Mr Trump with the caption: 'Hey Donald, welcome to Windsor Castle.'
Yesterday evening, a video of several photos and clips of the disgraced financier and 79-year-old Mr Trump together over the years were displayed onto the brick walls.
The series of images was accompanied by a timeline, showing several pictures of the two as well as a note written by the President to Epstein in a copy of his book 'Trump the Art of The Comeback' which read: 'To Jeff, you are the greatest.'
Images of Prince Andrew alongside Epstein, who was awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges when he died in jail in 2019, were also shone on the screen for passers by in the Berkshire town to see.
Thames Valley Police confirmed four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communication.

Keir Starmer was forced to abandon part of his 'historic' trade deal with the US on the eve of Donald Trump's State visit.
Whitehall sources said months of lobbying had failed to persuade the White House to implement an agreement to slash tariffs on British steel exports to zero, despite one being announced.
The blow came as Mr Trump flew into the UK last night for his second State visit, after being hosted in 2019 at Buckingham Palace by Queen Elizabeth.
The US President said his trip would be focused on spending time with his 'friend' King Charles at Windsor Castle, whom he called an 'elegant gentleman'.
But he was also willing to talk to Sir Keir about making the trade deal 'a little bit better'.
Despite the warm words, the sources said it was now clear that the original plan for zero tariffs on UK steel would not be implemented, delivering a devastating new blow to the beleaguered industry.
The so-called deal, covering cars and steel, was announced by the Prime Minister in May.
London Mayor reignites Trump feud ahead of state visit
By Jamie Bullen
London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has reignited his feud reignited his feud with Donald Trump just hours ahead of his arrival into Britain yesterday, claiming ecord numbers of Americans are moving to the UK's capital to escape him.
The city mayor, who has clashed repeatedly with the president during his nine years in office, said a record number of people were crossing the Atlantic to make lives in the UK since the start of his second term.
Sir Sadiq hit out just hours before Trump and first lady Melania touched down for his second State Visit to the UK.
In a pointed statement Sir Sadiq said:
Prominent figures in the US and UK deliberately talk down our country, and in particular our capital city. Yet the latest evidence is clear – a record number of US citizens are now applying for citizenship here in the UK.
For many Americans I speak with, it's because of our values that record numbers are applying to be citizens. This includes our fundamental values like adhering to the rule of law, being proud of our diversity and championing the rights of minority communities.
City Hall cited Home Office figures showing a rise in applications for UK citizenship from Americans since the last quarter of last year, which coincides with Trump's election win over Kamala Harris.
In July, Trump referred to Sir Sadiq as a 'nasty person' who had done a 'terrible job' while visiting his golf resort in Scotland.

Cabinet minister - Protests against Trump 'inevitable'
By Jamie Bullen
Protests against Donald Trump’s state visit are 'perhaps inevitable' but the US President and Sir Keir Starmer “won’t let any of that distract them”, a Cabinet minister has said.
Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said she had not seen reports that four people had been arrested after an image of Mr Trump and deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was beamed onto Windsor Castle.
But she told LBC:
In today’s world, many of these things are perhaps inevitable, but they won’t let any of that distract them. They both want to deliver for their countries and their people.
What Trump said about King Charles before heading to UK
By Jamie Bullen
Before leaving the US, Donald Trump spoke of his excitement to see King Charles, whom he described as 'an elegant gentleman'.
After arriving at Winfield House, the residence of America's ambassador to the UK, Warren Stevens, Trump praised the 'outstanding' job the monarch is doing.
Asked if he had a message for King Charles, he added:
We're going to see him tomorrow and he's been a friend of mine for a long time, and everybody respects him, and they love him.
Trump earlier spoke about his relationship with Charles ahead of boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
My relationship is very good with the UK, and Charles, as you know, who's now King, is my friend, It's the first time this has ever happened where somebody was honoured twice. So, it's a great honour.
Trump visit comes as Mandelson crisis engulfs UK government
By Jamie Bullen
Trump and Mandelson in the Oval Office in May
Donald Trump's second state visit threatens to be overshadowed by a crisis engulfing Keir Starmer's government.
Peter Mandelson was last week sacked as US ambassador after a series of devastating emails suggested the Labour grandee appeared to have plotted with his paedophile 'best pal' Epstein to save him from looming charges of molesting teenagers.
Starmer had appointed Mandelson as US ambassador without waiting for him to be vetted by the security services, MPs were told on Monday.
The President's allies vowed he would 'go easy' on struggling Sir Keir during his visit following the domestic hits to the Prime Minister's leadership.

Protesters target Windsor Castle ahead of street demonstration in London
By Jamie Bullen
Last night protesters at Windsor were chanting 'Dump Trump' even before the US president had landed.
One demonstrator, a marketing executive who declined to give her surname, said she opposed Britain rolling out the red carpet for Trump, whom she said had fuelled ' a lot of the far-right protests that we're already having here'.
More protests are expected today with thousands set to descend on central London, with other demonstrations gearing up around the UK in opposition to the US President's two-day stay.
About 1,600 police officers will be in the capital, around Westminster, amid a march involving 50 groups organised by the Stop Trump Coalition.
Road closures will allow protesters to march on Parliament Square from around 2pm.

By Jamie Bullen
Four people were arrested last night after images of Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew and Donald Trump were projected on to Windsor Castle.
A video of several photos and clips of the disgraced financier and the US President, 79, together over the years were displayed onto the brick walls.
The series of images were accompanied by a timeline, showing several pictures of the two as well as a note written by Mr Trump to Epstein in a copy of his book 'Trump the Art of The Comeback' which read: 'To Jeff, you are the greatest.'
Images of Prince Andrew alongside Epstein, who was on trial for several sex trafficking charges, were also shone on the screen for passers by in the Berkshire town to see.
In 2019, the financier died while on trial, accused of running a 'vast network' of trafficking underage girls. He was also convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor a decade prior, for which he was a registered sex offender.
