The police made 52 arrests during the King's Coronation Day – including alleged public nuisance and breach-of-the-peace offences.
The Metropolitan Police said they “understood public concerns” after the force came under heavy criticism earlier today when campaign groups described “incredibly alarming” detentions during republican protests.
Protesters from the anti-monarchy group, including its chief executive Graham Smith, were apprehended during the celebration day – as well as demonstrators from Just Stop Oil and Animal Rising.
