The controversial Trump blimp has already ruffled a few feathers – but the gigantic floating baby is being tested ready for its big moment on Friday.

The 18-foot high blimp has been inflated for a practice session in Bingfield Park in North London.

Trump’s visit begins tomorrow with military bands, lunch with the prime minister at her country place then tea with the queen at Windsor Castle before flying off to one of his golf clubs in Scotland.

When the blimp flies in Parliament Square for two hours on Friday morning, organisers hope it can be a symbol for all those campaigning against the President’s controversial policies.

Demonstrator Sheila Menon, who is part of a group who crowdfunded the balloon, said: ‘We know that behind the humour of this the Trump baby represents a whole multitude of campaigns and issues.

‘This isn’t just about mocking him.

‘This is actually about drawing attention to his fascist policies, policies that he’s putting into place like nobody’s business since he’s been in power.

‘Policies that are having very real impacts on real lives not just in the US but all over the world.’

‘So there’s a very serious message behind this but what we’re hoping is that on Friday this can be a symbol that people, no matter what they’re campaigning on, can get behind, and can feel that this is representing them and all their campaign issues.’

The blimp’s appearance in central London was approved by the Greater London Authority, and Mayor Sadiq Khan has defended the decision, saying it is not for him to be a censor or to decide what is in good or bad taste.
