US President Donald Trump has arrived in the UK for a state visit.
Accompanied by First Lady Melania, the American leader’s three-day visit will see him enjoy a state banquet, as well as paying tribute to allied servicemen who took part in D-Day on the 75th anniversary of the landings.
As well as all the pomp and pageantry of a state visit, Mr Trump can also expect mass protests on the streets of London and elsewhere.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
