Also declining an invitation to the banquet were the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Leader of the minority Liberal Democrats, Vince Cable.

Organizers of the rally are predicting 250,000 will be on the streets of London Tuesday expressing their opposition to Trump's state visit.

The President and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, met the Queen and her heir Prince Charles on the West Lawn at the palace, followed by an inspection of Grenadier Guards.

Outside the Buckingham Palace, protesters chanted messages and waved banners.

As Air Force One was making its early morning descent at London Stansted Airport, Trump put out a tweet message that sent London media, as well as diplomats, into a whirl.

Trump made disparaging remarks against one of his British critics, the Labor Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. He described Khan a stone cold loser, adding he thought the London mayor had done a "terrible job" as mayor.
