Pro Palestinian protesters have confirmed that they won’t postpone their march and have accused the government and political groups of using the police to put pressure on them.
Organisers have previously pointed out that their march is due to begin almost two hours after the silence of commemoration.
On Saturday 11 November at 11am, the nation will observe a two-minute silence to remember soldiers that died across the world between 1914 and 1918.
The protest is projected to start at Hyde Park and end at the US Embassy in south London. It does not pass through Whitehall.
Pro Palestian protesters have said they have “no intention of marching on or near Whitehall, in order not to disrupt events at the Cenotaph”

A statement signed by groups including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign reads “The idea that it is acceptable for Israel to keep bombing and killing Palestinians in Gaza including over 4,000 children, but not for people to protest peacefully against these crimes is grotesque.”
On Sunday, The National Service of Remembrance starts at 10.30am on Whitehall and will be attended by the King, Prime Minister, military personnel and war veterans.
There are no protests planned for Sunday.
