U.S President, Donald Trump and Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle

U.S President, Donald Trump met Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle but the monarch was forced at one point to walk around the US president after he halted abruptly during a ceremonial inspection of the guard.

Trump's first visit to Britain as President was not the full state visit he was originally promised, but he was heralded by military bands on his arrival at Windsor, before he and First Lady Melania went into the castle for tea with the queen.

The US president had earlier praised the Queen as a "tremendous woman".

The Queen greeted the pair with a smile, although she had earlier glanced at her watch as she waited for their arrival.

Tens of thousands of protesters marched through London to demonstrate against the US president's visit.

He is due to fly to Scotland for a private visit where he will spend two days at a golf course he owns, before heading to Helsinki for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
