Met Police 'understand public concern' as 52 people arrested during Coronation celebrations
The Metropolitan Police said it ‘understands public concern’ after 52 people were arrested in London throughout the King’s coronation day.
Protesters from the anti-monarchy group, including its chief executive Graham Smith, were apprehended during the day – as well as demonstrators from Just Stop Oil and Animal Rising.14 people were arrested on The Mall, where the historic procession made its way to Buckingham Palace, including 13 who were arrested to prevent a breach of peace. Another person was arrested for the possession of drugs and a knife.
In Westminster, six people on St Martin’s Lane and three on Wellington Arch were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance. Another three were arrested in Soho for the same reasons. But campaigners said the protests were “peaceful”, describing the arrests as “a dangerous precedent for us as a democratic nation”.
