Met Police chiefs have blasted anti-migrant protesters after 26 officers were injured during a Tommy Robinson-organised rally believed to be the largest right-wing demonstration in British history.

In total 25 arrests have been made so far, for offences including affray, violent disorder, assaults and criminal damage - with more expected to follow.

Officers were kicked and punched and faced hurled bottles, flares and other projectiles, the Met Police said

'Unite The Kingdom' saw an estimated 150,000 people march through central London on Saturday, with police reporting that they faced 'unacceptable violence' as they sought to control the vast crowds.

Attendees at the event, organised by anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim activist Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, met at Stamford Street near Waterloo Bridge before making their way to the southern end of Whitehall.
