In pictures: Tens of thousands of protesters demand a ceasefire in London’s Trafalgar Square

Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in London’s Trafalgar Square to call for a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s bombing of Gaza. 

A sea of Palestinian flags could be seen from a distance, as people chanted for a free Palestine. 

MEE's producer, Mohammad Saleh, who was present at the protest said that people were shouting "Rishi Sunak shame on you."

He also said that a moment of silence was observed to mourn the lives of those lost in Israel's bombing of Gaza. 

Earlier today, a sit-in was staged at London’s Oxford Circus which stopped traffic in one of the busiest roads in the capital. 

Protesters also gathered outside the BBC offices in central London.
