Armistice Day Pro-Palestinian Protest In London

Protesters progress over Vauxhall Bridge during the pro-Palestinian march through central London which has controversially coincided with the annual Armistice Day event, on 11th November 2023. Amid tensions between opposing communities and on the day of national mourning for Britain’s war dead, Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has clashed with both Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak who questioned whether the march against Israeli’s attacks on Gaza should go ahead due to possible public disorder. 300,000 thousand took the agreed route taken by protesters, from Hyde Park Corner to the US embassy, well away from the Cenotaph itself and wider Whitehall area where a 24hr exclusion zone was imposed. Almost a hundred counter-protesters were arrested.
