full title: Trump and Melania hold hands as they land in Regent's Park after taking Marine One from Stansted on his first presidential visit to UK as he brushes aside protests by claiming Britons 'like him a lot'

• US president has landed at Stansted Airport with First Lady Melania at around 1pm as he starts four-day trip
• 10,000 police officers have been drafted in to protect him from protests - biggest number since 2011 riots
• Mr Trump accompanied by 1,000 of own staff plus planes, helicopters and cars including bomb-proof 'Beast'
• Not official state visit but red carpet is being rolled out as he meets the Queen at Windsor and PM at Chequers
• Thousands expected to protest against him as he tours UK and giant 'Trump baby balloon' will fly over London
• But he said in response: 'I think it's fine. A lot of people like me there. They agree with me on immigration'

A freeper posted yesterday that they should hold hands. It’s great. Also very healthy.

Ivana or Marla would have been vogueing, grinning and drawing attention to themselves. Melania carries herself with dignity. They are a great team.

I think the handholding made the headlines because of the contrast with the Royals, whose protocol is No Public Displays of Affection. Markle got trashed last week for trying to hold Harry's hand at an official event.

Love the dress! Simple and sophisticated. It reminds me of something my mother wore back in the day.

We need a comparison picture of Melania, the French and Italian First Ladies, then the one with Moochelle.

Redux Ping To the First Lady's List.

It is a heartwarming photo full of love that apparently is copyrighted by AP and they got to get every cent out of photos of public figures.

Glad Trump gets to meet the Queen at Windsor.

Nice that the Queen can tear herself away from listening to the recordings of Obama's speeches he gave to her during his visit.

Nobody even came close to idolizing Obama more than he did.

What a puffed up piece of tofu, in a red meat hamburger world.

If I was President Trump, I'd tell PM Mayday to Brexit...since the voters wanted it...now, they need a new PM, like a British Trump...that would be great...😀
