"The protest was in response to Tommy Robinson's unite the kingdom rally in September, when 110,000 people marched through central London."
"Demonstrators saw performances from Self Esteem, Jessie Ware, Katy B, Joy Crookes, UB40 and Hot Chip. Speeches from the Labour MP Diane Abbott and the Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, attracted roars from the crowd gathered on Whitehall."
