Graham Smith, seen in the footage sitting on the floor surrounded by police, was among those arrested at around 7.30am as activists began gathering at Trafalgar Square.

Harry Stratton, a director at Republic, who arrived as the organisers were detained, said: 'We asked on what grounds they had been arrested but they wouldn’t say. It is a surprise as we had had a number of meetings with the police.'
