“A Bishop’s Stortford student has been busy this weekend creating a stiff message about climate change for Donald Trump in the hope of catching the US president’s eye as he flies into Stansted on Monday morning for the start of his state visit,” according to the Bishop’s Stortford Independent newspaper.

“Online upcycling entrepreneur Ollie Nancarrow, 18, spent part of Saturday and Sunday mowing the message in the grounds of his family home just outside Hatfield Heath, with the full approval of mother and stepfather Vanessa and David Ambler.
