Trump to be welcomed by giant Epstein banner outside Windsor Castle

A notorious photograph featuring Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has been enlarged to the size of a tennis court and placed at the doorstep of Windsor Castle.

The current US President and convicted paedophilefamously crossed paths on several occasions while Epstein was alive, with one such meeting captured in a photographat Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in 1997. As speculation about their relationship continues to swirl during Mr Trump's contentious second term, the photograph has been blown up and positioned on the front lawn of Windsor Castle.

The UK collective Everyone Hates Elon created a 400 square-metre version of the image and placed it outside the Royal residence after a successful crowdfunder raised £30,000 to "ruin Trump's UK visit" this week.

President Trump is visiting the UK and staying with King Charles at Windsor Castle on Tuesday afternoon, and the group has significantly increased activity ahead of the historic second state visit. Members of Everyone Hates Elon have unveiled a similar tribute to Jeffrey Epstein at Trump's Aberdeen golf course, created spoof bus adverts, and scattered fake merchandise in the Windsor Castle shop.

Photographs of the enlarged photo show the tennis-court sized image positioned on the pathway leading to the Royal residence, with activists standing around its border, reports the Mirror.

A spokesperson for the group stated that the stunt was designed to "celebrate the special relationship" between Mr Trump and Epstein, who are said to have once been friends.

A spokesperson for Everyone Hates Elon declared: "It's time to celebrate the special relationship - the relationship between pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and President Donald Trump. Trump's supporters are tearing themselves apart over the Epstein files. Now he's hoping to escape it all to have tea with the King.

"But there's no way we're letting him use our country to polish his image. Most people here hate what he stands for."

They continued: "We're ready to make sure Epstein haunts him everywhere he goes."

Epstein has plagued Mr Trump throughout his second term, with the President's apparent unwillingness to publish the so-called "Epstein files" sparking rumours of a cover-up among sections of his loyal MAGA supporters.

The US Commander-in-Chief has refuted claims he was mates with the discredited financier.

He was recently compelled to dismiss a note found in Epstein's "birthday book" handed to Congressional investigators that featured a message and a vulgar sketch of a woman's body was penned by him - despite his signature apparently scribbled beneath.

In a statement, the White House said the President did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it".But Mr Trump has previously offered praise for the paedophile, having once remarked during an interview with New York Magazine: "I've known Jeff for 15 years. He's a lot of fun to be with.

"It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
