LIVE: Police 'attacked with projectiles' by Tommy Robinson supporters as 110,000 march through London

We are ending our rolling coverage of the protests in central London.

Tommy Robinson brought the stage events to a close at just after 6.30pm by promising another such event. 

 Apologising to several people who did not have time to speak, including former MP Tory Andrew Bridgen, he said: "We're going to have to come back and finish this off."

The singer of indie band James says the group is examining their options after their smash hit Sit Down was used in a video posted by Tommy Robinson, highlighting the size of the protest.

He wrote on X: “Disgusted to see the cynical use of ‘Sit Down’ by @TRobinsonNewEra

“No permission was granted, and we are looking into our options.

“The song and most of our topical lyrics, make it very clear where we stand, and it’s the antithesis of this organization.”

Speeches and music continued on the stage in Whitehall past the 6pm cut off time imposed by police.

Away from that crowd, a line of officers stood beneath a tunnel outside Embankment station, while men wearing St George’s flags shouted “w****rs” and spat down at them from one of the Golden Jubilee footbridges at around 6pm.

One man heckled through a megaphone and others could be heard shouting “wankers” at the police line below.

The officers on foot were supported by at least seven police vans and were not allowing people through the road or to the station.

More than a hundred helmeted officers on foot, backed up by dozens of police horses, have rushed at Tommy Robinson supporters – backing them along Northumberland Avenue and towards Embankment station.

The horses moved at speed down the road at around 5.45pm.

Some protesters – now largely dispersed – faced them carrying flags.

Two Tommy Robinson supporters, a woman from Brazil and a man from Poland, told LBC they are "fed up with the government" because "people are being prosecuted for speaking their minds".

She said: "We want our children to be free and be able to speak their opinions without going to jail.

"I think at the moment it's madness"

He added: "We cannot say anything that is deemed controversial from the left".

Scuffles broke out between police and Tommy Robinson supporters as they moved the group out of Whitehall.

Objects including a traffic cone, bottles and pieces of wood were thrown at the line of officers as they started to push the group back towards Trafalgar Square and Northumberland Avenue at around 5.25pm.

The Metropolitan Police said it estimated around 110,000 were in Whitehall for the "Unite the Kingdom" event and 5,000 for the counter protest.

The National Police Air Service shared a picture of the crowds.

Ben Habib, the leader of Advance UK, a political party which Tommy Robinson has joined, said other political leaders should be at the "Unite the Kingdom" rally.

The former MEP said: "The question is not whether or not Ben Habib should be here. The question is where are the other bloody leaders of the political parties? Where are they?"

He accused other politicians of falling for "ridiculous cancel culture" in choosing not to come to the rally. 

 He also joined in with chants about Sir Keir Starmer, saying "Come on, let's get it out of our systems: Keir Starmer's a w****r." 

Elon Musk, speaking by videolink to the Tommy Robinson protest, said: “I think there’s something beautiful about being British and what I see happening here is a destruction of Britain, initially a slow erosion but rapidly increasing erosion of Britain with massive uncontrolled migration.

“A failure by the government to protect innocent people including children who are getting gang-raped. 

"It’s unreal the government has failed in its duty to protect its citizens which is a fundamental duty of government.”
