Protests are taking part in some areas with President Trump’s brand of politics proving unpopular among some.
Speaking to the People’s Channel, Janet and Anthony made it clear they would not be joining any demonstrations.
“We always come to Windsor once a week and we thought we’d come along today to see what’s going on”, Janet said.
“We know we can’t see anything of Donald Trump at all because it’s all inside the Windsor estate, but it’s just interesting to see what’s going on.”
