More than 200,000 people took part in the demonstration on Saturday, according to estimates by organisers.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of a terrorism-related offence at a pro-Palestinian protest in central London, at which hundreds of thousands gathered to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
The demonstration, organised in part by Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, heard speeches from former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and The Crown actor Khalid Abdalla among others. He said: “What we’re watching on real time global television is the destruction of life, wanton destruction of life in Gaza.
Abdalla, 43, who played Dodi Fayed in the Netflix series The Crown, said he attended a pro-Palestinian protest when he was three and took his children with him on Saturday.
