Met Police Monitor Counter-protesters As Armistice Day Commemoration Proceeds

Officers have announced that they are closely monitoring the activities of counter-protesters during the Armistice Day commemoration in central London. While the two minutes of silence on Whitehall were observed respectfully and without incident, law enforcement has encountered aggression from counter-protesters, who have gathered in significant numbers in the area.

In a statement, the police force emphasised that the far-right crowds present are not a unified group, but rather comprised of different factions. The counter-protesters have begun dispersing into various parts of central London, prompting the authorities to track their movements closely.
