Military chiefs have insisted those who fought for Britain “did so to protect our freedoms”, warning it would be a mistake to ban the event. Their intervention came as police took the unprecedented step of guarding the Cenotaph with a round-the-clock ring of steel. “But I think beyond that people should shut up and stay calm.”Gen McColl also accused Ms Braverman of acting in her own interest. Meanwhile, far-right groups have vowed to “defend” the war memorial in reaction to the row over whether the pro-Palestine march should be banned.
