Thousands of pro-Palestine protesters have marched through Central London today yellow 'shame on you' and 'stop bombing Iran' at pro-Israeli counter-demo.

Demonstrators were heading to Whitehall from Russell Square in central London and waved Palestinian flags and chanted 'free, free Palestine,' 'occupation no more, 'Israel is a terrorist state,' and 'stop bombing Iran'.

Campaigners gathered in large numbers under the banner of the Palestine Coalition.

Many shouted 'shame on you' as they passed a group of counter-protesters assembled near Waterloo Bridge by the pro-Israeli group Stop the Hate.

The march, which began around midday in Russell Square, is moving through Aldwych and the Strand before concluding with a rally and speeches in Whitehall.
