quite a big representation for the protest movement on this corner outside henry viii's gate. let's take you to the sovereign ‘s entrance inside windsor castle where we are expecting donald trump to emerge shortly. if you were watching our pictures you would have seen the queen introducing the president to three people standing at the door. one of them i thought i recognised, of course it was the countess of early, the queen's lady in waiting. the countess was naturally born in america. also there was edward young, the principal private secretary to the queen and tom baker assista nt to secretary to the queen and tom baker assistant to the private secretary. you will see that the car is waiting just to the left of the screen. it will transport the president to marine one and from there they are going to sta nsted. marine one and from there they are going to stansted. air force one will then transport him to glasgow airport and from there he will be driven to one of his favourite places in britain, turnberry golf course. as a fellow golfer, i can subscribe to that, it is quit

ashley: henry viii door? ashley: called henry viii entrance. he hung out there for a while during his reign. stuart: anything else for our largely american audience? possibly a british accent? we're having a grand old time, ashley and i. truly enjoyable for us. both born and raised in england. ashley: yes. stuart: we're both down americans. ashley: we have unique view. stuart: we have unique perspective. we're looking at the queen of england about to entertain the american president, donald trump. who already this morning charmed the british people. ashley: absolutely. certainly theresa may. i do think what he said about the prime minister is genuine. he is, if nothing else transparent, donald trump. he will tell you exactly what he is thinking at that moment with no filter. stuart: i wish we could break away from the shot of the queen, show you many so of the things president trump was saying this morning. ashley: oh. stuart: for example, he took on the media with gusto. in particular cnn. cnn reporter, who was trying to ask a question, mr. tr

let me just show you the pictures here outside henry viii gate at windsor castle. you can see it is much more modest and genteel and in keeping with the royal borough of windsor, but a good many people here, similar placards as you have seen on the streets of london, very visible police presence and if we stay on these pictures you will see the guards coming up the road, the coldstrea m the guards coming up the road, the coldstream guards 1st battalion will be the honour guard in the quadrangle when donald trump arrives here injust over 20 minutes' time. the 1st battalion coldstream guards, one of the oldest units in the british army, of course and they have worked alongside american units in iraq and also in various counterterrorism operations over the yea rs counterterrorism operations over the years as well so donald trump will be familiar with this, and in fact, this morning they were at a military exhibition this morning at sandhurst and watching us and british special forces in a counterterrorism operation, a mock operation before they went off to check is so
