Fireworks were fired at Buckingham Palace, with the
Queen in residence, amid protests to mark Guy Fawkes
Night in London . It’s not thought any damage was done
to the historic tourist attraction and no injuries were
reported, although there were minor scuffles between
police and demonstrators.
The protest, which passed in front of the Houses of
Parliament, Trafalgar Square and other London
landmarks before arriving at the palace, was organised
by groups including Anonymous in what was promoted
on social media as the Million Mask March across
hundreds of cities worldwide. While the objective of the
protestaccording to Anonymous was to “spark the
movement back into action against the persecution of
internet freedom”, other groups such as Occupy joined
to voice their anger over austerity and other diverse
government policies.Source: BBC and Euronews.
