Hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters marched through London today for Al Quds Day while Israel supporters staged a counter rally outside Parliament . Around 1,000 activists gathered outside the Home Office in central London on Friday before marching towards Downing Street, with some carrying signs with the message, 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'.

Another man was also arrested after he was heard making a homophobic remark, while another man was arrested for assaulting an emergency worker
