Clashes have broken out as right-wing protesters attempted to reach the Cenotaph war memorial in London.
A large crowd of people bearing St George's flags was seen walking along Embankment and shouting 'England 'til I die'. A line of police attempted to stop them from reaching Whitehall but the group pushed through, with some shouting 'let's have them' as officers hit out with batons. Bottles were also thrown at police by the counter-demonstrators, many of whom were wearing masks.
' The main pro-Palestinian demonstration, expected to be attended by 500,000 people, had drawn criticism from the prime minister and home secretary because it coincided with remembrance events. Suella Braverman had faced accusations of inflaming tensions after accusing the police of 'playing favourites' when they resisted pressure to ban the main pro-Palestinian march.
