The head of an anti-monarchy group who was arrested before a protest at King Charles III's coronation has been released from police custody, the group said.
Republic, which wants an elected head of state, said late on Saturday that its chief executive Graham Smith was released, some 16 hours after he was first detained.
London's Metropolitan Police has been criticised for making the arrests, which included volunteers of a local women's safety team that the force supports.
