Protests are planned across the UK during Donald Trump's state visit - but one art student from Hertfordshire has found an imaginative way of getting his message across first.

Ollie Nancarrow, from Bishop's Stortford, has mowed a rather rude welcome to the US President into a field on the flight path into Stansted Airport.

One message featured an outline of a polar bear alongside the words: "Climate change is real".

The 18-year-old said that "living under the flightpath has to have some advantages".

"I wanted to show Trump that I oppose his views and policies on climate change and, as an artist, I use whatever canvas I have."

Trump will be hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace and take part in the D-Day anniversary commemorations during his three-day visit.

Student Ollie, who is part of the sustainability and environmental awareness group "Born Eco", won't get to take part in any other Trump protests until later as he's tied up taking an A-level exam.
