Thousands of protesters have joined a Women’s March in London as part of an international campaign on the first full day of Donald Trump’s presidency.

The rally is among events in the UK and elsewhere planned in solidarity with the march in Washington, which is expected to draw 200,000 people.

Organisers aim to highlight women’s rights, which they perceive to be under threat from the new US administration.

A protest against Mr Trump took place at London’s US embassy on Friday night.

Singer Lily Allen joined demonstrators, local politicians and trades unionists outside the building in Grosvenor Square to highlight concerns raised by his election campaign on issues including nuclear weapons, climate change and immigration.

Other protests took place on Friday in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester, as Mr Trump was being sworn in as the 45th US president.Ryman’s 20-year sponsorship deal with the Isthmian League to end, confirms Dragons Den tycoon Theo Paphitis https://www.parikiaki.com/2017/01/rymans-20-year-sponsorship-deal-with-the-isthmian-league-to-end-confirms-dragons-den-tycoon-theo-paphitis/ #Rymans #Theopaphitis #Dragonsden #Isthmianleague
