Protesters today projected images of Donald Trump and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on to the castle in England where the United States President will stay during his state visit.
The Led by Donkeys group, which is known for its viral stunts targeting politicians, broadcast a video montage for several minutes on to one of the towers of Windsor Castle, west of London.
The shots 鈥 shown shortly before Trump鈥檚 arrival in Britain 鈥 included the President鈥檚 mugshot, portraits of Epstein, newspaper headlines and footage of the two men dancing together.
The local police said four people had been arrested 鈥渙n suspicion of malicious communications鈥 following the stunt in Windsor.
鈥淲e take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously,鈥 said Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker of Thames Valley Police, adding that officers 鈥渞esponded swiftly to stop the projection鈥.
Trump has struggled to shake off stories about his ties to his former friend Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 before his trial for sexual exploitation.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also been affected, dismissing Lord Peter Mandelson, his ambassador to Washington, following revelations about the envoy鈥檚 close ties to the sex offender.
Even before Air Force One touched down, dozens of anti-Trump demonstrators gathered in Windsor to protest against his visit.
Thousands more plan to demonstrate in London overnight NZT, although the US leader will avoid the capital and the public during his stay.
Trump and his wife Melania will stay at Windsor Castle, hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Trump will later join Starmer for a day of political and economic talks at the Prime Minister鈥檚 country residence before heading back to the US.
