Thousands of people including former British prime minister Boris Johnson gather in London for a march against antisemitism, a day after large crowds turned out for a pro-Palestinian rally.
Johnson is joined by UK Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and other senior government officials at the march to express solidarity with the Jewish community.
Organizers billed it as the largest gathering against antisemitism in London for decades.
Marchers wave Israeli and UK flags and hold placards reading “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.”

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the former leader of the far-right English Defence League, was detained by police at the march.
Yaxley-Lennon, more widely known by his alias Tommy Robinson, was among crowds of counter-protesters who clashed with police during an Armistice Day march in London.
