US President Donald Trump will be an "honoured guest" when he visits the UK next week, the British ambassador to the US says.
Trump will make his first visit as president to the UK where he will meet Prime Minister Theresa May at her Chequers country retreat in Buckinghamshire and the Queen at Windsor Castle before travelling to Scotland.
Both venues are places where police can keep any protesters out of sight.
A number of anti-Trump protests are planned to coincide with the visit, starting in London on Thursday, but ambassador Sir Kim Darroch has said the Anglo-American alliance plays a "leading role".
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Sir Kim said the relationship between the United States and United Kingdom was "interwoven at every level", adding he was grateful for American support on a free trade agreement post-Brexit.
"President Trump will be an honoured guest, representing a partnership that is greater and deeper than any other in history," he said.
"And in a world in which the challenges seem ever more daunting, I'm confident that the UK-US alliance will continue to play a leading role in advancing our shared values of democracy and freedom."
