Met Police charge multiple protesters after disorder broke out during 'Unite the Kingdom' rally

The demonstration, which was overwhelmingly attended by peaceful protestors, left 26 police officers injured, the Met Police said.

The force estimated that 150,000 people were present in the streets of London, describing the attendance as "a very large turnout".

Three of the men, Richard Hamilton, 42, Matthew Wilkins, 55, and Jamie Brewer, 35, appeared in court today.

While the remaining five Lewis Siverns, 33, Aaron Wren, 36, James Moore, 50, Paul Newman, 56, and Paul Newman, 56, will appear at a later date.

The Met has also issued photos of 11 people whom officers are trying to trace in relation to the disorder.

Officers want to speak to them in relation to a range of public order offences and assaults on emergency services workers, the force said.

At least 25 people were initially arrested during the rally on Saturday, the Met police confirmed following the demonstration.

Speakers included US billionaire Elon Musk, right-wing French politician Eric Zemmour, Danish People's Party leader Morten Messerschmidt, Petr Bystron of the right-wing Alternative for Germany party, Polish MEP Dominik Tarczynski, Belgian activist Filip Dewinter, and Mayor of London challenger Ant Middleton.

Around 5,000 people were also involved in an "anti-racism" counter-demonstration.

The Metropolitan Police said there were several incidents of violent disorder, the majority of which were linked to the Unite the Kingdom event.

Detective Chief Inspector Natalie Norris, from the Met’s Public Order Crime Team, said: "Public order policing doesn’t end when the event is over, and since Saturday our teams have been working to identify those involved in any criminality.

"Our post-event investigation is ongoing, and officers have trawled through hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and continue to review evidence to help with inquiries.

"We have identified a number of people we want to speak to in connection with a range of offences – and we are asking for the public’s help to track them down.

"As with any major event, we know people may have travelled from outside of London, so we’re asking for people across the country to take a look at those pictured and get in touch if they recognise anyone."
