London | Hundreds of thousands of people marched through central London in a huge pro-Palestinian demonstration on Saturday (Sunday AEDT), a tense day in which police battled with a small right-wing group to keep order on some city streets.

The large march in support of the Palestinian cause coincided with Armistice Day, when Britain commemorates those who fought in World War I and subsequent conflicts, and followed days of debate about whether the protest should be allowed to go ahead.
