Drones to police Donald Trump’s visit to UK when King welcomes US president
‘Eyes in the sky’ operation revealed for Donald Trump’s UK visit
- A major policing operation will be in place for US president Donald Trump's second visit to the UK next week, hosted by The King at Windsor Castle.
- As part of the security measures, a temporary airspace restriction will ban non-police drones and smaller aircraft over Windsor from Tuesday until Thursday.
- Thames Valley Police will enforce the ban, using their own drones as "eyes in the sky" to monitor the protected area.
- The force is engaging with local communities and drone enthusiasts to ensure awareness of the restriction, warning that flying in the prohibited zone is an offence.
- Protests are anticipated during the visit, with demonstrations planned in central London and near Windsor Castle.
