nov 11, 2023 - Pro-Palestine March on Armistice Day

Description:

The pro-Palestinian protest came to an end outside the US Embassy in Vauxhall earlier after a long march across central London.

Here's a look back over the key developments:

The Metropolitan Police estimated that 300,000 people joined the march in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza - organisers said 800,000 attended
While there is some debate over the exact figure, this would make it the biggest since weekly marches began when the Israel-Gaza war began last month
Scuffles between counter-protestors and police broke out in several locations, including in Pimlico, Chinatown and near the Cenotaph war memorial
A total of 126 people were arrested across the day, including members of far-right groups
Officers also intercepted a group of 150. Arrests were made after some of the fireworks struck officers in the face
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned what he described as "unacceptable scenes" across the day, saying violence "utterly disrespects" the armed forces
He also criticised what he said were pro-Hamas signs and antisemitic chants among protesters
Earlier, hundreds of people gathered at the Cenotaph in Whitehall to observe two minutes of silence and commemorate those who gave their lives in service
