Donald Trump's state visit to the UK: what's on the agenda?
"The president and first lady will be formally greeted at Windsor by a royal salute fired simultaneously from the east lawn of Windsor Castle and the Tower of London. They will then be taken by carriage through the Windsor estate with King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine. Their route will be lined by members of the armed forces, with three military bands from the Royal Marines, the army and the RAF."
"The president and first lady will then visit St George's Chapel to lay a wreath on the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II. While there they will be given a tour of the chapel and a performance by the chapel choir. Trump's first event with Starmer will come on Wednesday afternoon, when the prime minister and his wife join the group to watch the beating the retreat military ceremony."
"Trump arrives with his wife, Melania, on Air Force One to be greeted by the foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, along with Warren Stephens, the US ambassador to the UK, and Viscount Hood, the king's lord-in-waiting. The US president will then go to Windsor Castle, where he will spend the night. There are no public events planned for Tuesday, and Trump will not spend time in London."
President Trump and First Lady Melania will arrive on Air Force One and be greeted by the foreign secretary, the US ambassador, and the king's lord-in-waiting. The president will spend the night at Windsor Castle with no public events in London planned for Tuesday. A local protest is expected on the Windsor high street. At Windsor, a royal salute will fire from the castle and the Tower of London, followed by a carriage procession with the king, queen consort, the Prince and Princess of Wales, armed forces lining the route, and three military bands. The couple will have lunch in the state dining room, tour the royal collection, lay a wreath at St George's Chapel with a choir performance, join the prime minister for the beating the retreat ceremony possibly accompanied by a Red Arrows and F-35 flypast, attend a white-tie state banquet where speeches will be given, and the president will travel to Chequers to meet the prime minister.
