WINDSOR, United Kingdom, Sept 17, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Protesters on Tuesday projected images of Donald Trump and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein onto a castle in England where the US president will stay during his UK state visit.

The Led by Donkeys group, which is known for its viral stunts targeting politicians, broadcast a video montage for several minutes onto one of the towers of Windsor Castle, west of London.

The shots included Trump's mugshot, portraits of Epstein, newspaper headlines, and footage of the two men dancing together.

The images were shown shortly after the president landed in the UK.

Trump has struggled to shake off stories about his ties to his former friend Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 before his trial for sexual exploitation.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also been affected, dismissing his ambassador to Washington following revelations about the envoy's close ties to the sex offender.

Even before Air Force One touched down, dozens of anti-Trump demonstrators gathered in Windsor to protest against his visit.

Thousands more plan to demonstrate in London, although the US leader will avoid the capital and the public during his stay.

He and wife Melania will stay at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

Trump will join Prime Minister Starmer on Thursday for a day of political and economic talks at the prime minister's country residence before heading back to the United States again.
