Aerial footage showed large crowds setting off on the march organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, with the protest due to end outside the Houses of Parliament after passing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Downing Street office.
Echoing Washington's stance, Sunak's government has stopped short of calling for a ceasefire, and instead advocated humanitarian pauses to allow aid to reach people in Gaza.

Earlier, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly urged those taking part in pro-Palestinian protests to be wary of disinformation and manipulation.
When asked by a reporter if there was a risk of Iran or other foreign actors hijacking protests to stoke unrest, Cleverly said: "It is perfectly possible to support the Palestinian people but also to condemn Hamas."

Hundreds of thousands are indeed thousands
-
I'd also like Hamas to surrender and return their captives so we can see a ceasefire
-
Where was this when they literally declared war and said “the enemy will pay an unprecedented price?” What did the Palestinian supporters think would happen exactly?
-
Why do you need to protest Hamas' actions when you know they don't have the ability to attain it? Even now we see them being bombed constantly by Israel in retaliation. Do you think protesting Hamas in London would achieve anything better than what Israel can already dish out?
On the other hand, nobody is doing enough to stop the genocide Israel is performing on Palenstine's civilians, so which one of these two issues do you think a protest in another country is more likely to affect?
-
They sat at home and rooted for Hamas of course. That's why there are never any protests against Hamas - who have supposedly taken the people of Gaza hostage and launch attacks at Israel that the civilians don't agree with.

There was a ceasefire in place on October 7.
