Today has seen an estimated 100,000 people take to the streets of central London to protest against Donald Trump's first official visit to the UK.

Despite the serious issues which compelled protesters to march including the President's controversial views on immigration, stances on abortion, views on climate change, comments about ethnic minorities and much else, the general mood surrounding today's activism has been one of positivity, celebration and unity.

Congregating at Portland Place and marching down to Trafalgar Square for a rally, the "Bring the Noise" march saw protesters chanting "Donald Trump's not welcome here."

And it wasn't the only protest against the President's UK visit today, either. The morning saw a dedicated women's march followed by a drag march in which some dressed as the president and others dressed up to celebrate all sexualities.

Meanwhile, a giant 20-foot blimp baby POTUS floated above Parliament Square.

Of course, any protest is an opportunity to get creative with placards. Here, we've rounded up the best, the brightest and the down-right funniest of the day.

The protesters certainly made their voices heard.
