There are fears that protesters could disrupt the two-minute silence commemorating the war dead next Saturday.

Police are considering whether to ban a controversial pro-Palestinian march in London planned for Armistice Day.

The planned route will take them from Hyde Park – about a mile from the Cenotaph – to the US embassy in Vauxhall, south of the Thames. In a statement on Sunday night, Scotland Yard said: “We recognise the terrible events in Israel and Gaza continue to have an impact on communities across London and recognise there is significant concern.

“Section 13 of the Public Order Act 1986 allows for the banning of a procession when there is a risk of serious disorder. It has to be approved by a Secretary of State. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed concern about the protest and Mrs Braverman said any protesters who vandalise the Cenotaph should be “put into a jail cell faster than their feet can touch the ground”.
