Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of London this afternoon to protest against the possible introduction of vaccine passports as part of the Government's winter Covid 'Plan B'.
Protestors marched through Piccadilly Circus in the centre of the city at around 1pm, holding signs reading 'no vaccine passports'.
Few wore face coverings as they walked through the busy streets under the supervision of police. Some held signs saying 'medical freedom', while others flew the St George's flag.
Video footage show some demonstrators clashing with officers outside the Australian Embassy as the most peaceful protest became more aggressive.

'Officers outside the property prevented demonstrators from causing criminal damage.'
Conspiracy theorists Piers Corbyn — brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn — and David Icke attended the protest.
