Thousands of people peacefully marched in support of Palestine in a Quds Day march in London.
Muslims were joined by Jews in the rally against Zionism that started near BBC Broadcasting House in Portland Place, central London, at around 3.30pm.
It was due to finish less than a mile away outside the US Embassy in Westminster.
The Metropolitan Police closely monitored the march, which passed through Oxford Circus while hoards of shoppers paused to photograph activists on their phones.
Quds Day, also know as Al-Quds day, is an annual international event held towards the end of Ramadan.
