The 26 best signs from last night's protests against Trump's 'Muslim ban'

Last night, thousands of people took the streets around Whitehall, and across the UK, to protest US President Donald Trump's immigration ban and to urge the UK government to stand up against it.

And while the demonstrators were fuelled by anger at Trump’s administration, they definitely didn’t lack humour either. They brought along some brilliant signs that added some much-needed levity to the grim state of things.

They had some works of art

The protests weren't just in London. The signs in Scotland were especially Scottish.

The difference between UK regions, in one tweet.

'Ball to your walls.'

There was this twist on a classic quote.

But maybe the best was this simple message.
