People have a right to protest against the monarchy, a police chief has said as officers carry out an "extraordinary policing operation" following the Queen's death.
Over the past few days, a few arrests have been made and protesters were moved on in London, Scotland and Oxford. The Metropolitan Police issued a statement following a viral video from Parliament Square in London, when a barrister who was holding up a blank piece of paper was asked for his details by an officer.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy said: "We’re aware of a video online showing an officer speaking with a member of the public outside the Palace of Westminster. The public absolutely have a right of protest and we have been making this clear to all officers involved in the extraordinary policing operation currently in place and we will continue do so.
