Live: Tommy Robinson supporters march in central London, as Churchill statue barricaded off

The mood has become 'tense' according to LBC's reporter George Ellison, as two groups of opposing protesters came close.

The Stand Up To Racism protesters were trying to walk to St James' Park, and encountered a group of Tommy Robinson supporters.

The right-wing protesters have been watching speeches on a big screen.

When a video of Labour taking power on the big screen was shown, a chorus of boos rang out from the crowd.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is at the anti-racism march, and told LBC's reporter George Ellison: "We've had 15 years of austerity, which has created poverty, unemployment, division and low wages. What we need is something different. 

"The far right don't offer anything else than hatred of minorities. 

"We rely on migrant workers to produce so much of our goods and our services, and we today, here, and thousands and thousands of others are saying we want to live in a united country."

A rally has begun after the marchers arrived in Parliament Square and the bottom end of Whitehall.

Speeches and musical performances are taking place.

Meanwhile five family members protesting the death of Chris Kaba have handed a letter over at Downing Street, down the road from the right-wing march.

Five relatives arrived at Downing Street dressed in black with a hand-written note addressed to Sir Keir Starmer.  

The contents of the letter have not been made public.

Earlier, the speaker from the Justice for Chris Kaba campaign addressed the crowd. 

 She spoke of "collective grief", "devastation" and "disappointment", adding: "We have each other. We are strong. We are powerful." 

 The speaker finished by leading a chant of "we believe that we will win" and "the people united will never be defeated".

Liam Tuffs, an ally of Tommy Robinson and an organiser of the protest, has warned protesters to remain peaceful.

He said there would be people placed in the crowd to provoke the protesters, without offering any evidence, and said that 'the aim of the game' is not to respond.

Police said there had been no issues of concern yet, nor any arrests in any of the marches.
