"King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to greet Trump and the first lady at Windsor Castle on Wednesday with simultaneous gun salutes at Windsor and the Tower of London. The UK Ministry of Defence says the largest guard of honour ever for a state visit about 1,300 military personnel and 120 horses will present arms. Trump will ride with the king in a carriage procession escorted by the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment."
"UK and US musicians will stage a special Beating Retreat military ceremony, capped by a joint flypast featuring UK and US F-35 fighter jets and the Red Arrows. The RAF is adding 12 new F-35A aircraft, the jet flown by the US Air Force in the display. The evening state banquet will feature music by the Duchess of Edinburgh's String Orchestra, the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry, and pipers from the Scots Guards."
"On Thursday, Trump travels to Prime Minister Keir Starmer's country residence, Chequers, where aviators from RAF Halton will line the route. He will watch an air display by the British Army's Red Devils Parachute Display Team and hear two RAF pipers perform. Trump, who calls King Charles "a friend," says it is a "great honour" to be the first US president to receive two state visits and to be hosted at what he calls "the ultimate" Windsor Castle."
