A national protest called by Unite Against Fascism (UAF) attracted thousands of people to march through central London against racism and Islamophobia.
The UAF regularly call counter-demonstrations to oppose the far-right groups the English Defence League and the British National Party.

Around 30 protesters, mainly English Defence League supporters, joined a march organised by the English Nationalist Alliance through Brighton. They were given a heavy police escort as they marched through the town and were heckled by locals and anti-fascist counter-protesters. Police arrested several anti-fascist protesters as they attempted to stop the march through Brighton.
