Tens of thousands of protesters are set to take to the streets during US President Donald Trump's visit to the UK. CGTN's Kate Parkinson is in London to find out what kind of reception Trump can expect.

At campaign headquarters, activists are making final preparations for their anti-Trump protests. The "Stop Trump Coalition" is planning what it describes as a "Carnival of Resistance" with protests taking place across the country, starting as soon as the US president lands in the UK. On the other side of town, another group activists are inflating a giant balloon depicting Trump as a snarling baby, complete with tiny hands and a nappy. Officials had initially denied the group permission to fly their "Trump Baby" blimp.

KATE PARKINSON LONDON "But, after more than 10,000 people signed a petition, the balloon's flight was approved. The giant "Trump Baby" will fly over parliament on Friday, when Trump is meeting British Prime Minister Theresa May."

"I am the least racist person."

The anti-Trump protests also now have a theme tune.

British political band Captain SKA have released a Trump-remix of their hit song "Liar Liar", which the group said was originally about Theresa May. The US president is largely avoiding the capital, and steering well clear of the demonstrations. But protest organisers say their message will still get through.

NICK DEARDEN "STOP TRUMP COALITION "I am absolutely sure that he will be watching it and looking at it and I am sure he will tell us what he thinks on Twitter. But in many ways I don't care so much what he thinks, what I care about is that those who are on the frontline of protesting against him in America feel that they have support around the world - they're in the firing line - and also that our own government doesn't feel it's acceptable to normalise and legitimise the way Trump talks and the types of things he's done in the way that Theresa May has done."

KATE PARKINSON LONDON Around 100,000 people are expected at Friday's main anti-Trump protest. The British government is rolling out the red carpet for the US president, but on the streets, he'll be getting a far less welcoming reception. Kate Parkinson, CGTN, London.
