8.14pm
Observer chief reporter Tracey McVeigh sends this update from Trafalgar Square:
Around 1,700 protesters in a rainy Trafalgar Square. Minor skirmish with police already at the base of Nelson's Column when police attempted to close down and remove a small sound system being run by protestors. Angry screams of vintage anti-police chants accusing them of being "maggie's fascists". Drummers competing with police helicopter. Pubs around the square packed with protesters avoiding the rain.​
