Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the US embassy in London to protest against Donald Trump following his US election win, hours after the results were announced.
Cries of "Dump Trump!" erupted from a crowd of around 200, which assembled outside the iron gates patrolled by dozens of police.
Organised by Stand Up To Racism, a campaign group that claims Mr Trump had run “the most racist election campaign in generations”, demonstrators spoke of their unease at a perceived sense of intolerence growing in the UK and US.
One protester said: "Donald is the name of a duck in America. He's the only Donald we should know. This Donald is a quack."
He said Mr Trump "blames migrant workers for the problems that have been created by the banks inside America for the loss of people's [...] earnings.
"Mexicans are not to blame. Women are not to blame. Minorities are not to blame.
"The people that have lost their jobs inside America are the same victims as we are here who have lost their jobs to austerity."
Anti-racism protesters clashed briefly with members of the far-right English Defence League (EDL) who distrupted the demonstration.
An EDL member told media who were gathered: "Donald Trump, he is the man, he’s telling it how it is. He’s not all about capitalism. He’s not all about stitching up Americans."
The London demonstration follows similar protests across the US and outside the American embassy in Berlin.
One protester, Kate Sumpter, a 29-year-old actor from Seattle, said of the election result: "Nobody saw it coming and we all should have. We know the seedy underbelly of our culture makes this sort of thing possible.
"I have friends who are people of colour and are Muslims. I'm scared for them.
She continued: "My parents are both British: I'm the child of immigrants in America, but because I'm white and I sound American, I don't get treated [badly]. It's such a horrific double standard."
Silvia Usle a photographer who was born in Spain and grew up in New York said the prospect of Mr Trump being president "makes me want to throw-up".
The 44-year-old added that she thought the vote for Mr Trump was a more extreme version of the UK's vote to leave the EU.
"Before, I thought Brexit was the most self destructive option a country could choose," she said before saying she was wrong.
Ms Usle had fashioned a makeshift sign drawing a parallel between the American President and Adolf Hitler. “I'm very scared," she added, "Hitler was elected in a democracy."
Another demonstrator, Maya Schkolne, said: "I come from a family of people affected by fascism of Jewish immigrants.
"Seeing someone who represents a similar appeal to masses of people [as the Nazi party] and is able to whip up crowds like that... Dangerous times are ahead."
As the election results rolled in on Wednesday, former KKK leader David Duke tweeted: "This is one of the most exciting nights of my life. Make no mistake about it, our people have played a huge role in electing Trump!"
