Key points: Queen Elizabeth said the state banquet celebrated an alliance which would "endure for many years to come" Mr Trump went straight to Buckingham Palace after arriving in London He will also meet with outgoing PM Theresa May, and will attend D-Day commemoration ceremonies Donald Trump kicked off his state visit to the United Kingdom on the front foot, branding London Mayor Sadiq Khan a "stone cold loser" on Twitter before Air Force One had even touched down. The US President and London's Mayor have a history of exchanging barbs on social media after Mr Trump retweeted anti-Muslim videos from a British far-right group in late 2017. Mr Khan accused the President of promoting a "vile, extremist group" and added his voice to calls for Ms May to cancel Mr Trump's invitation for a state visit. The London Mayor later gave permission for protesters to fly the "Baby Trump" blimp during Mr Trump's 2018 visit, with a spokesman saying: "The Mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms."
