Pro-Palestinian protesters say 'more than 800,000' marched today to London's US Embassy to demand that Israel stop bombing Gaza - as crowds are asked to disperse peacefully
A woman using a speaker system from the stage at the end of the 'march for Palestine' said: 'There are more than 800,000 of us here today and that number may be as high as one million. Making this the second largest march in British history.' Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: 'They said we shouldn't be marching on Remembrance weekend. Well I simply say this, we march in memory of all those who died in all wars, in all conflicts.' Chants of 'free Palestine' and 'ceasefire now' could be heard during the march. The Met, who put their numbers at 300,000, said those gathered had so far been peaceful with no incidents reported.
