US President Donald Trump is in the UK for a brief visit to meet the Prime Minister Theresa May and the Queen before heading off to his golf resort in Scotland.

Mr Trump and First Lady Melania are set to join the "tremendous" queen in Windsor today, while protests are underway in London featuring a giant baby blimp of the President.

Social media has been alight since their arrival in the UK yesterday, with Twitter users in particular not letting the tense political climate overshadow the opportunity for humour.

Here are some of the best reactions we've seen so far to the #TrumpUKVisit.

First of all, from the man himself:

They will soon be calling me MR. BREXIT!

Then came the memes:

Didn’t realise it was a Disney themed dinner? Kudos on the Beauty and the Beast outfits though. https://t.co/LsbXQpD006

Twinkle, twinkle, Donald Trump,
What a giant orange chump,
Up above the world he flies,
Like a condom full of lies.#TrumpUKVisit pic.twitter.com/ToyLWAmOor

The opportunity for satire was not missed by some media outlets:
