A giant blimp depicting Donald Trump as a diaper-wearing baby, which he said makes him "feel unwelcome," will be raised again in London to mark his state visit on Monday.
The 20-foot balloon first appeared over Westminster, near the Houses of Parliament, when the US president last visited London, on July 13, 2018.
He told The Sun newspaper in an interview at the time: "I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London."

The Stop Trump Coalition, which manages the balloon, told Business Insider on Monday that the blimp will rise again at 9:00 a.m. (4:00 a.m. ET) on Tuesday.
As many as 250,000 people protested against Trump's visit in July 2018.

Farage described the balloon as "the biggest insult to a sitting US President ever" in a tweet in July last year.
Trump will also host an event in Portsmouth, in southern England, to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

Leo Murray, who spearheaded the blimp project, told Business Insider in April they were toying with the idea of a hot-air balloon which would be five times the size, This appears not to have come to pass.
