The UK, and London in particular, has a long history of policing protest.
Last year we policed more than 4,000 events and protests in London. Over half of these passed without any arrest being made.
We do everything we can to respect the right to protest.

The #Coronation was a historic moment of huge national significance.
It was the most challenging, fast-moving and complex policing picture we have ever encountered for a national celebration.
We are proud to have successfully ensured its safety and security.

This evening all six have had their bail cancelled and no further action will be taken.
We regret that those six people arrested were unable to join the wider group of protesters in Trafalgar Square and elsewhere on the procession route.

We have now fully examined the items seized and reviewed the full circumstances of the arrest.
Those arrested stated the items would be used to secure their placards, and the investigation has been unable to prove intent to use them to lock on and disrupt the event.

It was not clear at the time that at least one of the group stopped had been engaging with police protest liaison team officers ahead of the event.
The Protest Liaison Team were not the arresting officers nor were they present in St Martin’s Lane at the time of the arrest.

It was not our intention to prevent protest. It is very clear a number of protests took place across the footprint both before, during and after the event with no police intervention.
Any suggestion all protest was prohibited is not correct.
