Protesters gather with placards and flags for the 'National March For Palestine' in central London on November 11, 2023, calling for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Police have said the march in support of Palestinians does not meet the legal threshold for requesting a government order to stop it going ahead.
