In a tense and confrontational scene near the Ministry of Defence, right-wing demonstrators clashed with police as they attempted to navigate through a narrow passage connecting Victoria Embankment and the Cenotaph. The incident occurred as hundreds of individuals, some waving Union and St. George’s flags, embarked on a march from Embankment Station to Westminster to commemorate Armistice Day.
The situation quickly escalated as the crowd surged across the green, engaging in aggressive gestures and shouting accusations of betrayal at the police officers present. The atmosphere grew increasingly heated as tensions flared between the demonstrators and law enforcement.
The clashes marked a stark contrast to the solemnity of the occasion, as Armistice Day serves as a time for reflection and remembrance of those who sacrificed their lives during times of conflict.
The police worked to guide the demonstrators through the narrow passage, but the situation remained tense. Some individuals within the crowd expressed their frustrations vocally, directing explicit accusations towards the police officers present.
