Protesters chanting slogans against Muslim extremists marched through Kingston town centre this morning.

About 60 people, who were exclusively white, walked from Hampton Wick station across Kingston bridge and gathered in front of the Bentall Centre.

They chanted "Muslim bombers off our streets" and displayed Union Jacks and a large wooden poppy.

The 30-minute protest was peaceful and the protesters dispersed quietly.

Organiser Ben Baty, 20, said it was a protest against the burning of poppies.

They denied being linked to any group, but one man carried a St George's cross bearing the letters EDL (English Defence League).
