September 18, 2025

DONALD Trump was treated to an unprecedented display of military pomp and pageantry as his historic second state visit began with a spectacular ceremonial welcome.

- TONY JONES & LAURA ELSTON Press Association

The US president and First Lady Melania Trump also received a personal, family-centred greeting from the King and his immediate family with Mr Trump in turn complimenting the Princess of Wales.

Around 1,500 troops in total are involved in the ceremonial events throughout the day almost double those on duty for the recent state visit of France's President Emmanuel Macron.

The day featured a carriage procession through the grounds of Windsor Castle accompanied by a sovereign's escort of 80 mounted soldiers similar to scenes from Trooping the Colour and a 120-strong guard of honour, the largest staged for a state visit in living memory.
