The petition has amassed nearly 1,800,000, across the UK, with new signatures being added regularly.

Across Sussex nearly 63,000 people have added their name.

The petition reads: “Donald Trump should be allowed to enter the UK in his capacity as head of the US Government, but he should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.”
