Around 2,000 officers from the Met and other UK forces will be on duty across central London this weekend, with the Cenotaph to be under 24-hour guard.
]Scotland Yard said this afternoon that an exclusion zone will be put in place covering Whitehall , Horse Guards Parade , the Westminster Abbey Field of Remembrance and other relevant areas, in effect banning those on the march from these locations. Officers said they thought that Saturday's march would be the largest so far.
At times it might look messy and that doesn’t equate to serious disorder or us losing control, but it does equate to us taking robust action. "Our use of force is to prevent serious disorder, harm coming to people or to prevent serious disruption. Significantly bigger police resource than any other remembrance weekend. This is probably going to be one of the most challenging weekends I’ve had and it’s certainly one of the biggest responses we’ve had".
