Four people have been arrested after images of Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew and Donald Trump were projected on to Windsor Castle.
Earlier on Tuesday evening, a video of several photos and clips of the disgraced financier and the US President, 79, together over the years were displayed onto the brick walls.
The series of images were accompanied by a timeline, showing several pictures of the two as well as a note written by Mr Trump to Epstein in a copy of his book ‘Trump the Art of The Comeback’ which read: ‘To Jeff, you are the greatest.’
Images of Prince Andrew alongside Epstein, who was on trial for several sex trafficking charges, were also shone on the screen for passers by in the Berkshire town to see.
In 2019, the financier died while on trial, accused of running a ‘vast network’ of trafficking underage girls. He was also convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor a decade prior, for which he was a registered sex offender.
The recent incident in Windsor comes as Mr Trump landed for his second state visit to the UK today, where he spoke of how being in Britain ‘warm[ed]’ his heart.
Thames Valley Police have since confirmed four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communication after what they called a ‘public stunt’.
Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker said: ‘We take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously.

‘Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and four people have been arrested.
‘We are conducting a thorough investigation with our partners into the circumstances surrounding this incident and will provide further updates when we are in a position to do so.’
On Tuesday night, the Republican leader arrived at Stansted Airport on Air Foce One and held his 55-year-old wife First Lady Melania’s hand as he walked down the aircraft steps.
Melania sported a trench coat from British designer Burberry and black riding boots as she and her husband were greeted by the Viscount Hood, Lord-in-Waiting, on behalf of King Charles.
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, who opposed his first state visit, shook Trump’s hand for about five seconds.
After landing on British soil, the US President also made several glowing remarks about the King.
He also praised the ‘outstanding’ job his US Ambassador to the UK Warren Stevens had done as he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him outside Winfield House where he will spend the night.
And while onboard Air Force One, Trump gushed about the expected pageantry awaiting him.

‘Enjoy yourselves. You’re going to have some great pictures today,’ he told reporters. ‘It’s going to be a beautiful event. Everyone’s looking forward to it. And we’ll just relax and have a good time.’
Trump earlier boasted about heading to the UK and spoke of his excitement to see the 76-year-old monarch, whom he described as ‘an elegant gentleman’.
The President’s allies vowed he would ‘go easy’ on struggling Sir Keir Starmer during his visit following a series of domestic hits to the Prime Minister’s leadership.
One source said: ‘This trip will be about the splendour of Windsor Castle, inspecting the troops, the big banquet. This is a big deal for him. And the plan is to keep it about that.’
Yet despite a series of political scandals, with Lord Mandelson being dismissed as US ambassador and ex-Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner resigning over underpaid stamp duty, Trump praised the PM saying he represents the UK ‘so well’.
