In a carriage procession through the Windsor estate, the King and president share a coach, while the first lady and Queen Camilla share another - who travels with who?

The carriages were closed rather than open - a nod to the unpredictable British weather, writes our royal correspondent Daniela Relph

There will be a flypast and state banquet later - here's how the next few hours will unfold

Meanwhile, four people have been arrested after images of Trump and late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto Windsor Castle

The King and Queen welcomed President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump to Windsor Castle for President Trump’s second state visit to the UK. (Live coverage was available.)

President Trump and the First Lady arrived at Windsor by Marine One. On landing, they were met by the Prince and Princess of Wales, who greeted them off the helicopter.

During a carriage procession across the Windsor estate, King Charles rode in the same coach as President Trump, while Queen Camilla travelled with the First Lady in a separate carriage — prompting interest over the seating pairings.

Organisers opted for closed carriages rather than the traditional open coaches, a decision partly attributed to Britain’s famously changeable weather, the royal correspondent Daniela Relph notes.

A flypast is scheduled to take place later in the day, followed by a formal state banquet; this is the planned sequence of events for the remainder of the visit.

Separately, security services detained four people after protestors projected images of President Trump alongside the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein onto the façade of Windsor Castle.
