Thousands took to the streets of London to protest over Donald Trump’s arrival in the UK, on day two of the US president’s state visit.

As well as Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and spokespeople from the Liberal Democrats and Green Party, the event marching from Parliament Square to Whitehall was also attended by a host of creative minds – as the examples that follow illustrate.

The robot says the phrases “No collusion”, “You are fake news” and “I’m a very stable genius” – the audio of which is Mr Trump’s own voice.

A sign on the cage says “do not feed the gorilla, he only eats chlorinated chicken”, in apparent protest at US government hopes to see UK food standard laws changed in a future trade deal.
