lots of them on top of the palace and a big crowd outside of the palace. trooping of the colour ended, the crowd has thinned considerably, which it does indicate there were a lot of people here for the trooping of the colour rather than the visit of the colour rather than the visit of donald trump. i think we can show you the scene in the garden of buckingham palace. we have pictures in there. that is where donald trump will be flying into. he and the first lady will be on marine one. they will be away from the crowds. in terms of the president coming up close with the ordinary people... i am just posing because i think i can hear the sounds of a chopper. i think i can hear something. i will keep my ears out. the president is not going to be coming up close with any ordinary members of the public. lots of people out protesting about this visit. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has given permission for that trump baby blimp balloon to fly over london tomorrow. that has been crowd funded. i can hear something. no. i think it is not a sign of the helicopter.

palace. he's going to be scheduled at the start ever, around 5:30. tomorrow in trafalgar square, that's when things will heat up and we'll see protests not justz london and on portsmouth he's going to be attending a ceremony this whole thing is going to be parred by politics as you mrendonald trump is stirg up nigel was a champion of frexit he said that he should be part of the negotiations because he was going to frexit. at's weighing odd to have britain. but for politicians, that's not unexpected by many of britain, leading the lights enough. labor leader, jeremy corbin, have refused to meet with the president. it's yet to be opponent of serene is a may. >> going to have our trouble thank you. >>> before leafing the count, the white house made the surprise visit to play for the community of hah "vanity fair. many were colleagues of the governme government we go to ron allen >> reporter: the morning of his ram maj, he play 16, and investigators say they don't know why >> he was not terminate

in your ears at the palace?ate visit. it was only discovered in buckingham palace because there was an order for something at stake neatly chopped up. i don't think the queen was best pleased when she discovered the dog had got through the radar without being checked and was now in her palace. i think he made his way very quickly out of there. the audience in the usa, is far the president is concerned, they will be loving the images so far. here in this country, slightly different attitude to this state visit. how much should we confuse the person of donald trump and the office of the president of the united states? a state visit is an invitation to another head of state, principally. it is very much an invitation to the president of the united states. or the holder of that office obviously defines the character of that visit. overall, what we are marking and celebrating isa what we are marking and celebrating is a very deep relationship with the united states, and so, president trump is holder of the office and

palace.re. there are two big helicopters. the first one probably isn't bringing the president, it will be this one. he has a big entourage. this is most likely the president coming in to land in this second helicopter. neil woodford has suspended trading in his largest fund because of a big rise in investors wanting to take their money out. it's reported the fund was frozen after a particularly large client, said to be kent county council, asked for its money to be returned. our business presenter dominic o'connell is here. what's going on? lots of people follow neil woodford, he's one of the few star names in fund management. he did very well over a long period of time, went out on his own and a lot of people followed him. he's had a terrible few years with his biggest fund, the aquity income fund. he can stop withdrawals, it's not like a bank account. but he can stop you selling out the shares because he says it's in the wider interest of everybody in it. if he has to sell all the assets, y

so he will go straight into buckingham palace.of the guard. but they will not get to see the president, not getting any sense of what is going on behind the scenes within the palace walls. there is a very busy schedule today involving several members of the royal family. but not the duchess of sussex, the one american now in the midst of our british royal family, she will not be meeting the american president. that is unusual, but she is just president. that is unusual, but she isjust a month into maternity leave with baby archie. it's helpful in many ways diplomatically because she has been critical of donald trump in the past. we are going to go straight to annita, who is at winfield house. joanna, thank you very much. we can hear helicopter sounds, but we cannot actually see, although we have been scanning the skies from our position, we haven't been able to spot marine one. but we think possibly the president has just landed. i can see a helicopter in the skies behind me, that is definitely not marine one, but i think it is to

today he has been in buckingham palace and buckingham palace garden the biggest private garden in theish history and just how far back it goes. it has to impress and because we know donald trump is impressed by that kind of stuff. that is the sort of thing that really wows him. and looking at how he responded to things, how curious he seemed to be, the conversations he appeared to be having today, he was interested and engaged in what people were saying and what they were telling him. he has been so involved with the business community in britain and promoting british business overseas. at the end of the day, this is what this is all about, the captains of industry are there generating synergy industry are there generating synergy and business between the two countries? it's important that the duke of york has such a high—profile role. normally he would not have taken such a high—profile role on but because that message of trade negotiations, forging those connections, that is why he is such a significant figure in terms of escorting the president over the next couple of days. he was

stay at these state visit usually stay at the palace he is in fact staying at the palace he is in facteard marine one coming back a while ago although we couldn't see it is, we could definitely hear it. the ambassador woodyjohnson in advance of this visit has been tweeting lots about the special relationship, one short film juxtaposing images of margaret thatcher and ronald reagan with images of donald trump and theresa may. with me is someone who is an expert in the cultural underpinnings of that special relationship, senior lecturer in history at manchester metropolitan university. today is all about donald trump meeting the queen. when you see those pictures of him you think about the history of the relationship between the uk and the us because of course he is just one of the cast of presidents that she has met. absolutely. you get a real sense of the images we have seen this afternoon that this is a consummate diplomat in the queen who has done this so many times before right back to the 19505. she knows what she is doing here and it really come5 what she is doing here and it real

one year ago the palace did let it be known that the palace did let it be known that the queen was totallyed when the us president walked ahead of her to inspect the trips. today no such protocol infractions, donald trump keen for the ceremonial to go off without a hitch. these pictures will play very well in the united states where the royal family is still a source of huge fascination. at the moment the queen as having lunch with president trump inside buckingham palace, this is a state visit with nearly all the bells and whistles. there is no gold coach ride because of security concerns, there is nojoint address ride because of security concerns, there is no joint address to parliament because the speaker chose not to invite him. there was a display of gifts and artefacts, the president expressing some interest in what the queen was showing him. and then it was time to leave. this trip is a celebration of the closeness between the us and the uk even though there are many issues where it's more fraught relationship than special relationship. on trade, climate change, iran and the chinese

with a banquet at buckingham palac mr. trump toasted the queen's longevity and thanked her for the warm reception. earlier he had tea with prince charles and a tour of westminster abbey. but his tet attacking london's mayor has thrown a carefully lachoreographed day off e. we go to christian fraser live buoutsidingham palace. christian: yes, an unconventional started this three-base hit visit, which is almost come to an end. we are waiting for the president and first lady to depart buckingham palace. some of the choppers above buckingham palace this evening, and we think the dinner will be completed and perhap next 10 or 20 minutes. weyo will brinthe pictures as they make their way back to the u.s. ambassador's residence this evening. it haseen a day full of pomp and pageantry, and the president basking in all that comes with a state visit to the u.k. we see him in the company of the world family throughout the course of the proceedings -- honor guard this morning, tripped westminster abbey, and this evening, the glitz and

the bridges around london saying stop trump and there's going to be a process outside buckingham palace here this evening as well so the whole thing is really marked with rancor and a lot of people saying that it's a sad day it's totally inappropriate for him to be in such a strange thing that this is supposed to be you know the oldest the most crucial relationship in the walls really between the u.s. and u.k. and it is marked with with so much disagreement over. trumps perceptions of house he sees things as being and the perception the u.k. of how they see him indian of course or as his helicopter lands in the gardens of buckingham palace lawrence and we can see those pictures now obviously he's also touching on 2 very sensitive issues at the moment for the u.k. one is breck see it and the other is that the health service. yeah and they're there inexplicably linked the national health service in this country for people who don't know when since its inception after the 2nd world war has always been a state funded publicly owned thing which which the british. population are intensely pro

they met on the west terrace at buckingham palace.here is a private lunch with the president. some of his family, other members of the royal family, including the duke of sussex, prince harry, although his wife, his american wife, megan makro, is not attending because she is on maternity leave. yes she is on maternity leave. yes she is on maternity leave. yes she is on maternity leave but there is something going on because the president, in a taped interview used the word nasty and in the same sentence used her name. what is the line? do we know what is going on? the line is she is on maternity leave. ba by rg the line is she is on maternity leave. baby rg is a month old. clearly in a different time and a different moment having an american at the heart of the royal family, to bring her out for a state visit, would have been particularly useful, perhaps. of the issue is as well that the duchess of sussex, when she was just plain old meghan markle, had been very outspoken about the president. she had said he was a divisive fixture ——

jon sopel, bbc news, buckingham palace.re have been some small protests here against the president, but tomorrow organisers say they're expecting more than a quarter of a million people to turn out on london's streets, and they'll hear an address by the labour leaderjeremy corbyn. here's our special correspondent, lucy manning. "haven't seen any protests yet," the president tweeted, "but i'm sure the fake news will be working hard to find them." they were just below his helicopter as he landed for the state banquet, although just a few hundred strong. he's a racist, he's a climate change denier and he's a playground bully, frankly. i don't think he's earned a state visit, i don't think he should be having dinner with the queen. sexist, misogynist. ijust don't want him to be here. don't you think it's right that as the leader of one of our closest allies, he should be here for a state visit? if he were a better human being, yes. ijust feel i am condoning it by rolling out the red carpet. the president also tweeted, "tremendo

catherine palace was based on the palace of louis the 14th of france a very inverse sign like olympics councils and palaces it had no official function it was for the king alone. which spent a total of 10 days here in the palace in late september $885.00. after sunset on 35 servants had to light the candles in the palace and after that they all had to vanish and the king was all alone here. in the. interests. of aix most famous castle is in the region near for some noise french time it attracts one and a half 1000000 visitors a year. for its architecture no trace drew inspiration from medieval councils. not far away is linda hawkes the only palace looked fake saw completed and it's the only one he lived in for any length of time. you can only reach the king's house in shock and on 40 it's at an elevation of 1800 meters. cassian. from outside it looks like a royal hunting launch inside its outrageously flamboyant especially the lavishly decorated turkish. his life king ludwig preferred his mountain retreat to his royal residence in. that once mine cable cars are a wonderful invention. a

max is at buckingham palace. the thing that may upset the president is max says the crowds are small compared to past events he's been in. it might be because of a lot of things. one reason might be the sense of weariness. the british public maybe just has had it with the controversy. >> if the crowds are small he can always lie that they're big. that's his approach to inconvenient facts. the question i always have about the president's statements these days is how much do we discount them for saying, oh, well, that's just the president. now people around the world are discounting him that way. the question is what does it mean when the president's word means so little? i don't know the answer to that. >> it's happening on foreign soil with a country having an existential crisis. great britain could change over the next couple of years. has drastic effects on the u.s. this is our closest, most personal relationship in terms of foreign countries. that could seemingly change as we know it over the next year or so,

him visiting buckingham palace. him doing all these things. the substance is supposed to be addressed tomorrow, as the report said. but the substance isn't really going to happen because we've got the lamest of lame duck prime ministers here and we don't really have a government to take care of substance. this is all pomp and circumstance as far as trump is concerned. >> the audio, i don't believe we can hear. i want to see if we can lissen for a moment. tough to hear. >> so, the president and the first lady here at westminster abbey will lay a wreath on the grave of the unknown warrior symbolizing those who died for their country in world war one. particularly those, tom, those who have no known graves. an unidentified service member. this is just the start of ceremonies, remembrances, not just of those who gave their lives in world world i but world war ii. here to commemorate the 75th anniversary of d-day in normandy on thursday. >> we'll talk about the substance of this and let's not forget why we are here. to commemorate d-day. we are in

the queen will welcome the president to buckingham palace with an extended gun salute, a guard of honour lunch. there will be a visit to westminster abbey, tea with the prince of wales at clarence house, then a state banquet back at the palace. but even before he's arrived, president trump has been causing headlines by saying britain should pursue a no—deal brexit, it should avoid doing a deal with the chinese telecoms giant huawei, and it should back a trade deal that his ambassador admits would involve the nhs. —— could involve. such is the concern of some, they say the state visit should not even be taking place. tens of thousands are preparing to protest on the streets of london. i think we've got to send a message on tuesday that people need to stand up to this kind of toxic politics, to this deeply bigoted and reactionary kind of politics that he represents, and if we do stand up, actually, we can start to turn the tables on him and everything that he symbolises. the outgoing prime minister, theresa may, insisted britain's relationship with the us had underpinned its security and p

trump to buckingham palace this evening.onths after our first meeting in windsor, visits by american presidents always remind us of the close and long standing friendship between the united kingdom and the united states. and i'm so glad that we have another opportunity to demonstrate the immense importance that both our countries attach to our relationship. in the coming days, you will see some of our most treasured historical buildings, speak to the business leaders whose expertise and innovation drive our economies, and meet members of our own services past and present. you will also travel to portsmouth and normandy to commemorate the 75th anniversary of d day. on that day, and on many occasions since the armed forces of both our countries fought side by side to defend our cherished values of liberty and democracy. mr. president in your state of the union address this year, dor lives. and we owe an immeasurable debt to the british, american and allied soldiers who began the liberation of europe on the 6th of june, 1944. i

ambassador and palace officials.ow unusual is it for a city president -- for a sitting president to bring his whole family? >> there haven't been that many state visits -- plenty by u.s. presidents, but not many official visits, so this is unusual without much to compare it to. this is a president whose family and loyalty are very important himim, and the display of meeting the queen in the royal family, the cabinet, -- remember, it's a president who sees himself as a form of royalty. does this state visit move the market? >> i would be surprised if it moves the market -- i think he's here more for the ceremony than anything else but a few tweets along the way won't be a missed opportunity. in terms of what the markets are thinking, i don't think they expect anything particularly new. you can tweet by policy but could tariffs on mexico add to the markets -- when he talks about the relationship of the u.k. could he not make policy by attacking germany? >> he could do. i think he's particularly interested in u.k. polit

for the first time here outside buckingham palace, we are seen antitrump protesters. there's a group being held back by police over to my right. you won't be able to see it, but they are trying to make their presence heard. i suspect they would like to be heard during that grand dinner, unlikely, though, buckingham palace is a big place. as you say, that would be a pretty stunning affair, cutlery, seats, everything measured out. the queen taking personal interest in the meal. this is very much a royal trip, a trip to meet the royal family as the constitutional head of britain, and the fundamental aim from the uk's point of view is to continue to cement that relationship with america. no matter the politics, no matter the turmoil, to continue to say we are your closest ally, and verse there is a lot of politics. the question after all of these great pictures is whether president trump will do something that kind of, if you like, ruins the atmosphere. >> what is the sense from your end, from the white house side of things, as the president tried to gasp gait all of that
