Pro- and anti-Brexit protesters clashed outside the UK parliament in London on Saturday as they held political rallies, and some scuffled with police officers.

A pro-Brexit demonstration arranged by the Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA) drew about 200 attendees on Saturday morning, while an anti-Brexit ‘March for Change’ rally drew large crowds. 

Members of the DFLA march reportedly approached the March for Change rally and began shouting, before a can was thrown at the anti-Brexit marchers and mounted police intervened. 

Some of the pro-Brexit marchers were seen clashing with police officers, while others chanted, “We love you Boris, we do.” 

Police are maintaining a division between the groups as they continue their respective rallies.
