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 Trump Baby balloon in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Trump has hinted he may meet with Boris Johnson, the frontrunner to replace Theresa May as Prime Minister, and Nigel Farage, an anti-establishment figure seen as the architect of Brexit.
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.
The balloon cost £5,000 ($6,300) to make. It was the idea of Matt Bonner, 36, from London. It also followed Trump to the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Trump baby blimp symbol was projected onto the White Cliffs of Dover, on England's southern coast on Sunday.
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.
Ajuub Faraji, one of the Trump blimp spokesmen, said in an emailed statement on Monday:
"Trump will try his best to avoid the public on his trip, but with Trump Baby flying we're sending a very clear message of solidarity to those affected by his despicable
politics - and saying loud and clear that the US president doesn't deserve the red carpet treatment being given to him by the government."
