When did Donald Trump arrive in the UK?

Following weeks of speculation, it was confirmed on April 26 that Donald Trump was coming to the UK in July.

He arrived at Stansted Airport on Air Force One before being flown by helicopter to Winfield House, the home of the US Ambassador in London.

He and First Lady Melania have largely be kept away from protests in London.

The president and his wife were the guests of honour for around 100 guests in the spectacular setting of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.

After spending the night at the US Ambassador’s London resident in Winfield House, in Regents Park, the President visited Sandhurst with Theresa May on Friday.

The pair then moved on to Chequers for a working lunch and crunch talks on a range of international issues – followed by a press conference.

Trump rejoined Melania and headed to Windsor Castle for a meeting with the Queen before heading to Scotland.

May did not travel north of the border, but Downing Street insisted the President will still be a guest of the UK government during his entire trip.

Challenged whether there was an "avoid London" strategy, the PM’s deputy spokeswoman insisted No10 frequently made use of Chequers for “important bilaterial discussions”.
