Police arrested the leader of the anti-monarchy group Republic hours before King Charles' coronation, and a number of other protesters who had gathered among the crowds lining the procession route in central London
Republic had said it would mount the biggest protest against a British monarch in modern history. Protesters wore yellow t-shirts to stand out and held up signs saying "Not My King".But London police had warned they would take action if protesters tried to "obstruct the enjoyment and celebration" of the day, and they formed a ring around the group.
"It is disgusting and massively over the top," said Kevin John, 57, a salesman from Devon who was among the protesters.
