Protesters chant ‘not my king’ ahead of King Charles’s coronation

Anti-monarchy protesters chanted "not my King" as they gathered in Trafalgar Square ahead of King Charles III's coronation on Saturday, 6 May.

Republican campaigners were arrested hours before the ceremony as police seized lock-on devices.

A number of breaching-the-peace arrests were made in the area of Carlton House Terrace and a further three arrests in the Wellington Arch area on suspicion of possessing articles to cause criminal damage, the force said.
