Here comes the backlash! 100,000 women take to Britain's streets as part of worldwide protests against President Trump as Emma Watson and Cher join 500,000 'p***yhats' marching on Washington
Wearing pink, pointy-eared 'p****hats' to mock the new president, throngs of women descended on the US capital and other cities around the globe on Saturday for marches and demonstrations aimed at showingDonald Trump they won't be silent over the next four years.
They carried signs with messages such as 'Women won't back down' and 'Less fear more love' and decried Trump's stand on such issues as abortion, diversity and climate change.
There were early signs that crowds in Washington could top those that gathered for Trump's inauguration on Friday. City officials said organisers of the Women's March on Washington had more than doubled their turnout estimate to 500,000 as crowds began swelling and subways into the city became clogged with participants.
US celebrities - including Katy Perry, Scarlett Johansson and Amy Schumer - are taking part in the Washington demonstration.
It wasn't just a US phenomenon and it wasn't just women: More than 600 'sister marches' were planned across the country and around the world, and plenty of men were part of the tableau.
Some 2.2 million people are marching globally to promote women's and human rights, with an estimated 100,000 out on the streets in Britain.
Huge demonstrations have also been held in cities including Paris, Berlin, Edinburgh, Rome, Prague, Stockholm, Copenhagen, New Delhi, Manila, Cardiff and Sydney today in opposition to the 45th President of the USA.
