Protesters gathered for this years Al-Quds Day, the annual international demonstration in support for Palestinian rights. The traditional march through the capital was canceled amid fears of violence given the ongoing war between Iran, Israel, and the united States, however crowds were still able to hold a static demonstration. Lambeth bridge was closed with large concrete blocks and metal barriers, while marine police patrolled the river Thames, with counter protesters gathering on the opposite side of the river. Despite intelligence of serious public disorder from MI5 and MI6, the protest passed off peacefully with only 12 arrests.
