The protesters were in possession of various banners some which said death to the monarchy, and tory scum.

The protesters were wearing their traditional Guy Fawkes masks so that they could hide their faces and they chanted some anti capitalist slogans and also called for the overthrow of the Government itself. At the same time, it is also said that various supporters of the Anonymous group also descended on the Trafalgar square aa police officers were forced to ensure a tight perimeter with the use of baton sticks and riot shields. Witnesses said that there were scuffles and shouting between the two groups.
The protesting group then made their way to the parliament building where they continued with their protests and also lit up fireworks and flares in front of the Westminster Abbey. At the same time, the police announced that anyone responsible for violence would be taken into custody.
