As a petition calling for Prime Minister Theresa May to block Trump's planned state visit to the UK gathers more than 1.6 million signatures, demonstrators held signs and placards that showed off their irreducible regional genius.

The demonstration in London, organised by columnist Owen Jones, took place outside 10 Downing Street. Protests also took place in Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Newcastle, Sheffield, Oxford, Cambridge, Brighton, Gloucester, Leeds, York, Liverpool, Leicester and several other towns and cities.
