'Do not try to disrupt these solemn events which mean so much to so many people'

FEARS of disruption on Armistice Day by thousands of pro-Palestinian marchers have sparked calls for tighter security.

More than one million protesters are being urged to flood central London on November 11 to denounce Israel's actions in Gaza.

Last night, there were demands for soldiers to be deployed on the streets of the capital to bolster security at the Cenotaph, where the traditional Remembrance Sunday ceremony honouring British and Common-wealth war dead will take place the following day.

Tory MP Henry Smith said: "After consecutive weekends of demonstrations where the Cenotaph and other national monuments have been grossly disrespected, it's completely inappropriate for further protests over Remembrance weekend.

"I don't have confidence in the Mayor of London or the Metropolitan Police to properly handle the situation and call on the Government to consider deploying [the military]." Kemp, the Protest organisers last night insisted they would avoid the Cenotaph during their rally.
