Demonstrators gathered outside the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square, London, for a day of campaigning and speeches against the controversial ban.

Mr Trump has dismissed the protests on Twitter, saying America is in "big trouble" as his controversial immigration order has been suspended.
Airlines have started to allow the previously banned passengers to fly to the US cities after the judge’s ruling.
Judge James Robart temporarily blocked Trump's immigration ban nationwide.
Campaigners are protesting in London against Trump for third time in a week
Stand Up to Racism, Stop the War and the People’s Assembly have come together to organise the event.
It is the third protest against Trump in two weeks and comes after he issued an executive order suspending entry to the US for nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries for three months to combat terrorism.
Defending his ban amid mass protests, Mr Trump tweeted: "When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety & security - big trouble!"

Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban. They know if certain people are allowed in it's death & destruction!
