University students have defied calls to cancel pro-Palestinian protests on the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks in Israel.
Demonstrations are taking place across the country two years to the day around 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage in southern Israel.
Undergraduates in London, Sheffield and Edinburgh have gone ahead with protests but a demonstration at Strathclyde University in Glasgow was postponed late yesterday.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the rallies as 'un-British' and Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson urged students to 'show some humanity' in the run-up to today's actions.
