The demo leaving Hyde Park - it's the biggest demo I've seen since 2003
Smoke bombs and a fire are set off at the head of Kensington Palace Gardens
The crowd tell the police that they want to get to the Israeli embassy
The police draw their batons
Just before red paint is thrown at them
The riot police arrive
And charge at the crowd
The crowd hold their ground, and continuing shouting
There's more pushing and shoving
As a small group stage a sit-down
A couple of minutes later the police attack the sit down
The crowd express their feelings about the riot police
Stop the War Coalition stewards arrive and try and do the police's job
The crowd tells the STWC steward what they think
Still, the crowd begins to move off
But not before leaving some messages for Palistein (sic) and the FIT team
The riot police hold the ground as people leave
Ten minutes later a Starbucks' has it's window put in
Before everyone arrives on High Street Kensington, and the Israeli embassy
There's reports of what happened later at the front of the embassy both here:
