Donald Trump's historic second UK state visit | Sky News coverage live from Windsor

US president Donald Trump has arrived in the UK at the start of his unprecedented second state visit, set to be marked with pageantry, politics and protest

The US president has packed a lot into his schedule while on British soil, including a mix of public and private events.

Here are some of the details from his itinerary on day one:

The Prince and Princess of Wales will greet the president and his wife in the grounds of the Windsor estate in the morning, before accompanying them to meet the King and Queen for an open-air greeting.

Trump, Melania, the King, Queen, William and Kate will then take part in a carriage procession through the estate to the castle, with the carriage ride joined by the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, which will provide a Sovereign's Escort, as well as members of the armed forces and three military bands.

A ceremonial welcome with a guard of honour will be staged in the quadrangle of the castle, as is customary, followed by lunch with the Royal Family and a visit to see a Royal Collection exhibition within the castle.

The president and his wife will then visit St George's Chapel privately on Wednesday afternoon to lay a wreath on the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II, whom they both met on their first state visit.

They will then be treated to a flypast by the Red Arrows alongside UK and US F-35 military jets on the east lawn at Windsor Castle, as well as a special Beating Retreat military ceremony.

The special additions have never been deployed before for a state visit and will take place in addition to the traditional grand state banquet and ceremonial welcome.

The traditional grand state banquet is set to follow in the castle's St George's Hall in the evening, with both Trump and the King to give speeches.
