London's mayor has approved a request from protesters to fly a blimp designed to look like an infant President Trump during the president's visit to the U.K. next week.
Sky News reports that Sadiq Khan approved the request Thursday, allowing the blimp's owners to fly the 20-foot-tall float near Parliament between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on Friday, July 13, during a protest march scheduled in London at the same time.
"The Mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms," read a statement from the mayor's office obtained by Sky.
"His city operations team have met with the organisers and have given them permission to use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp."

We're marching to protest Trump who arrives in London that day. We'll be marching and banging pots and pans to let him know he's NOT WELCOME IN THE UK.Link to tweet

He willl view it as a tribute.
