More than one hundred thousand people took part in the "Unite the Kingdom" demonstration in central London organized by right-wing leader Tommy Robinson, while a large anti-fascism protest was also held in central London.


Around 1,600 police officers were deployed to maintain law and order, and clashes broke out between police and right-wing demonstrators.


Alongside Tommy Robinson, Donald Trump’s former aide Steve Bannon, Katie Hopkins, and others also addressed the rally.


According to police, several officers were attacked, and in different locations, police had to use force to control the demonstrators.


Police stated that around 5,000 people took part in the Stand Up to Fascism counter-protest.


Members of Parliament Zarah Sultana and Diane Abbott addressed the anti-fascism protest as well. Before the demonstrations, police had announced that they would not be using facial recognition cameras.


Amid concerns from Muslims about traveling into central London, Police Commander Claire Haines said that Muslims should not change their weekend plans, assuring them that the police would be present to protect them.


Police had ordered that the Unite the Kingdom rally end by 6 p.m., and the counter-protesters finish by 4 p.m.
