Royal wedding: Muslim group's Abbey protest blocked

Police have been scouring the wedding parade route

 

Scotland Yard says it has rejected an application by a radical Islamist group to protest outside Westminster Abbey on royal wedding day.

 

The group, Muslims against Crusades, was behind a poppy-burning protest on Armistice Day.
Officers said talks were continuing on whether protests at other nearby locations would also be blocked.

The English Defence League had said it would hold a counter- demonstration if permission were granted.

Five thousand police officers will be on duty on the day.
