Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of London to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
The latest major demonstration in the capital comes as Egyptian officials confirmed that Hamas will later free another 14 hostages in exchange for 42 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
The temporary truce is still holding and follows weeks of fighting and Israeli bombardments of Gaza, with the conflict sparked by the Hamas incursion into southern Israel that saw 1,200 people killed.
Protesters in London are marching from Park Lane to Whitehall, with the Metropolitan Police also handing out leaflets to provide “absolute clarity” on what will be deemed an offence.
It comes after weeks of pressure on the force over the handling of the now-regular demonstrations, with pressure from senior politicians for officers to come down harder on alleged displays of antisemitism.
As the demonstration began, the Met said one protester had been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred.
