IN PICS: A giant 'Trump Baby' balloon floats in London sky and here is why

The balloon was released near the Houses of Parliament, where "Stop Trump" protesters were marching. Trump arrived in Britain on Thursday, hours after shrugging off the planned rallies to take place across the country, claiming that he was, in fact, "very popular among Britons"/ AFP PHOTO / Tolga AKMEN

It is reported that Trump won’t be holding his meetings in London but will hold talks with OM Theresa May at her country retreat outside the city. This is done so that he can avoid the demonstration. / AFP PHOTO / Tolga AKMEN

US President Donald Trump may not be really pleased at the kind of welcome the protesters have arranged for him in London.

The request to fly the blimp was approved by London Mayor Sadiq Khan earlier this month. Khan, who has had a testy Twitter relationship with Trump, gave the unusual request the go-ahead after over 10,000 people signed a petition. / AFP PHOTO / Tolga AKMEN

The 20-foot-tall, orange-coloured blimp of Trump features "small hands, a tiny mobile phone and a giant diaper," according to the blimp organizers, CNN reported. / AFP PHOTO / Tolga AKMEN
