St George’s Day rally descends into chaos amid clashes

Police in central London are dealing with disorder ahead of a St George’s Day rally after a group of people forced their way through a cordon.
The event is due to begin at 3pm, but the Metropolitan Police said there had been disturbances ahead of the organised gathering.
Additional policing resources, including public order officers, have been deployed in Westminster, supported by colleagues from the British Transport Police and the City of London Police.
