Organisers have predicted half a million people will gather in the capital in the 'biggest demonstration' over the Israel-Hamas conflict, with the police bracing for huge numbers.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters are set to head to central London today to call for a ceasefire in Israel's war against Palestinian militant group Hamas. The march has drawn criticism from the prime minister and home secretary because it coincides with Armistice Day, when people across the UK remember the moment the guns of the First World War fell silent.
'It is because of those who fought for this country and for the freedom we cherish that those who wish to protest can do so, but they must do so respectfully and peacefully. 'Remembrance weekend is sacred for us all and should be a moment of unity, of our shared British values and of solemn reflection.
