The protest in London was organised by the campaign group also called "Bridges not Walls", in reference to Mr Trump's pledge to build a wall on the Mexican border.

"We won't let the politics of hate peddled by the likes of Donald Trump take hold," Nona Hurkmans of Bridges not Walls said in a statement.

Protests are planned on Southwark, Millennium, Blackfriars, Waterloo, Westminster, Lambeth and Vauxhall.

The London action will involve a series of coordinated banner drops from London bridges along the river Thames, which will be filmed from the river to tell the story.
