About 110,000 people attending 'unite the kingdom' rally, say Met police
The Metropolitan police believe that there are about 110,000 people in attendance at the ‘unite the kingdom’ demonstration and about 5,000 at the Stand Up to Racism march.
Speaking to the Guardian on Saturday afternoon, the Met police said:
It is difficult to estimate numbers in attendance at busy protests but we use a combination of CCTV and police helicopter footage to do so.
We believe the number of people in attendance at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ demonstration is around 110,000.
We believe the number of people in attendance at the ‘Stand Up To Racism’ demonstration is around 5,000.
Estimates provided by organisers and the police will often differ.
