‘Legacy will live on’
THE legacy of Donald Trump will outlive protests – including a giant baby blimp caricature – against his first visit to the UK, a Republican said.
As anti-Trump activists demonstrate during the US president’s visit, supporters will gather in the capital to welcome him to Britain.
The Republicans Overseas UK group expects up to 100 people to attend its event tomorrow evening to show there are people who are happy about the trip, chairwoman Sarah Elliott said. HUNDREDS of well-wishers mobbed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they conducted their first overseas walkabout.
Excited students and tourists flocked to Trinity College’s Parliament Square to catch a glimpse of Meghan and Harry as their whirlwind visit to Dublin took them to the Irish capital’s prestigious university. Screams and shouts greeted their appearance along with outstretched hands from fans as a sea of camera phones were held up to capture the moment.
The couple walked past the ecstatic royal fans standing five deep against crash barriers, greeting as many of them as they could. Harry joked with the crowds telling them he would like to come back safely disguised by a hood to make the most of Meghan’s “favourite” city.
Best friends Sophie Maher, 11, and Emma Bowden, 10, had brought Irish flags with them, along with a handwritten postcard for Meghan telling her: “I love your style. Enjoy your stay.”
“She said hello and asked us what our names are,” said Sophie afterwards. “She’s really nice.” Emma added: “She said she loved a handwritten postcard and that it was really nice to get one. She shook my hand it smells so good!”
