Crowds took to the capital's streets from 13:00 GMT, with placards displaying messages including "fight ignorance not immigrants" and "reject racist lies" visible. High-profile figures had backed the protest, including Sir Lenny Henry and Paloma Faith, while singer Billy Bragg was expected to attend and Leigh-Anne Pinnock was set to perform at a music event in Trafalgar Square. The march follows last year's Unite the Kingdom demonstration organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, which drew more than 100,000 people and saw several incidents of violence. Organisers of Saturday's march said as many as 500,000 people had attended, although the Metropolitan Police estimated the figure to be closer to 50,000, adding precise figures were hard to determine due to the spread of the crowds.
