Minister of State for Veteran's Affairs Johnny Mercer has urged people to visit London to take part in Remembrance Day commemorations, despite threat of pro-Palestine demonstration.

Mercer said: "The Metropolitan Police are bending over backwards to make sure that everybody who comes up into London, whether you're selling poppies, whether you're attending a reunion or you're going to remembrance, is completely unmolested and allowed to get on with what is a really special and important weekend.

"We spent all week making sure that can happen. And I really encourage people to come into London and and remember in the way we always do"
