‘D-Day is about commemorating the fight against fascism, but Trump is pursuing a dangerous far-right agenda and fanning the flames of hatred.’
The event will be the first time the UK has hosted this many world leaders outside a formal summit since the 2012 Olympics.
On Tuesday, tens of thousands of people marched through central London as the president met senior Government and business leaders before a press conference with Theresa May.
