Thames Valley Police confirmed an investigation is ongoing into the incident.

Airspace restrictions are currently in place for the US President’s State Visit, which kicks off later today.

The force said: “A 37-year-old man from Brentford, London was arrested at Windsor Great Park for flying a drone that breached an airspace restriction order.

“The incident is being investigated under aviation legislation, and the man remains in police custody.

“This serves as a reminder that airspace restrictions are currently in place for the state visit of President of the United States of America Donald Trump, and any breaches will be dealt with robustly.

“Between 16–18 September, a temporary airspace restriction is in effect over and around Windsor, covering all aircraft, including drones.”

The State Visit will be one of the UK’s biggest security operations.

Preparations were stepped up in the wake of Trump ally Charlie Kirk’s assassination, which sparked fears of copycat political violence.
