A PRO-PALESTINIAN demonstration met with verbal protests from a small band of far-right extremists in London yesterday.
There was a heavy police presence amid fears anti-Islamic groups would cause trouble during the annual Al-Quds Day event.
But the march and rally passed off without violence as a gathering of counter-protesters appeared to keep their opposition vocal.
The band of people, understood to be from the English Defence League, chanted noisily and pointed fingers as the procession went past Piccadilly Circus.
The Al-Quds Day crowd responded with their own shouts during the angry stand-off as lines of police officers kept the two sides apart.
The protesters dispersed while police moved any potential troublemakers to a cordoned area and the march continued to Waterloo Place.
