Donald Trump will make a three day official state visit to the UK in June, Buckingham Palace announced today.

Trump and his wife Melania have accepted an invitation from the Queen for visit from June 3 to June 5.

Trump was promised the visit by Theresa May after he was elected in 2016 but it was postponed amid protests in the UK against his policies.

He will hold a bilateral meeting with May during the trip and attend a ceremony in Portsmouth to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

Visiting heads of state are sometimes given the honour of addressing Parliament, but Speaker John Bercow today would not confirm if this would take place.

The state visit is understood to be taking place at Buckingham Palace, where a state banquet will be held for Trump. But the president is not expected to stay at the palace because of renovations being undertaken in the East Wing of the Queen’s London residence.

Details of the ceremonial elements of the visit have yet to be announced by Buckingham Palace, but the visit is likely to follow the traditional format of an official open-air welcome featuring prestigious British regiments, lunch with the Queen and a state banquet.

May said today: “The UK and United States have a deep and enduring partnership that is rooted in our common history and shared interests. We do more together than any two nations in the world and we are both safer and more prosperous because of our cooperation. The State Visit is an opportunity to strengthen our already close relationship in areas such as trade, investment, security and defense, and to discuss how we can build on these ties in the years ahead.”

In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: ‘The President of the United States of America, President Donald J Trump, accompanied by Mrs Melania Trump, has accepted an invitation from Her Majesty The Queen to pay a State Visit to the United Kingdom from Monday 3rd June to Wednesday 5th June 2019.’

The Trump visited the UK in July 2018, but only for a two-day working visit, and he was not officially invited by the Queen.

The announcement has today sparked calls for renewed demonstrations after thousands of people took to the streets last year when he arrived in Britain.

Campaigners are also calling for the return of the baby “Trump Blimp” a year after the giant 20ft tall effigy depicting the President as a baby was flown above Parliament Square.

And Labour MPs said he would not be welcomed in the UK and demanded a return of the scenes that greeted his arrival in 2018.

The rest of the UK wants Trump to bugger off. The demonstrations are going to be epic. https://t.co/Yx6cysEPJd

Deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic, Donald Trump is no friend of Britain. He is not fit to hold public office, let alone worthy of our country's highest honours and a banquet with the Queen. Theresa May is selling out the UK to a serial liar and a cheat. #TrumpUKVisit https://t.co/2onIyKU8ZO

If EVER there was a good reason to lie down across the runways at any and all UK airports, then it's not for climate change – but to keep THIS bastard off of British soil…!! #TrumpUKVisithttps://t.co/nZCrwwODTw

Fuck off. He is not welcome. He caged children. He failed Puerto Rico. I’ll be marching full pelt for independence if England/Tory murderers (you’re responsible for the deaths from your DUP deal) demands Scotland welcome a cunt like that. #TrumpUKVisit
