Scotland Yard said: "Officers have made three arrests at Piccadilly Circus.

"One person was arrested after they were seen displaying a placard that could incite hated, contrary to Section 12 of the Terrorism Act.

"Two other people were arrested; one for breaching conditions of Section 12 of the Public Order Act and the other for assaulting a police officer.

"All three have been taken to central London police stations."

Officers were also forced to conduct a "swift intervention" at Oxford Circus.

Demonstrators subsequently continued their march towards Trafalgar Square via Regent Street.

The group of protesters have caused some disruption in the capital, such as blocking traffic near the monument dedicated towards British naval hero Horatio Nelson.

Protesters have been marching around London as demands for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas intensify.

An increasing number of Labour MPs are openly disagreeing with Sir Keir Starmer's position on the war, including Shadow Ministers.

Former Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn was also spotted at an event in South London yesterday.

Protesters were heard controversially saying: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

Rishi Sunak yesterday encouraged hundreds of thousands of activists not to travel to London next weekend.

Pro-Palestine protesters are preparing to continue demonstrations on Armistice Day.

The Prime Minister, who will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday next weekend, labelled the potential protest as both "provocative" and "disrespectful".

He said: "There is a clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated, something that would be an affront to the British public and the values we stand for."

Sunak added: "The right to remember, in peace and dignity, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those freedoms must be protected."

However, two pro-Palestine campaign groups revealed activists have "no plans" to march towards the Cenotaph, adding: "We understand the sensitivity of the date."

A former aide to Margaret Thatcher heaped pressure on the Prime Minister to intervene.

Nile Gardiner said: "The British Government has to stand up for the British people, enforce the rule of law, ensure the streets are safe and ensure that the evils of anti-Semitism, the evils of Islamist terrorism and extremism are fundamentally defeated."

Ex-Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage also urged Sunak to do more, adding: "But he won't because he is gutless."
