Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had said it was disrespectful to hold the rally on Armistice Day, and hundreds of counter-protesters from far-right groups showed up to oppose it, clashing with police, and resulting in over 90 arrests. Sunak condemned the scenes of violence in a statement on Saturday and said the event should be about unity. The government said veterans of Britain's nuclear testing programme would be awarded new medals to recognise their special service.

[1/5] A upholsterer works on restoring a throne chair at Marlborough House, ahead of the Coronation of King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort on May 6., in London, Britain February 17, 2023. The Chairs of Estate that will be used during the early parts of the service and for the coronation of Camilla were made for the coronation of Charles' mother Queen Elizabeth in 1953, the palace said. Charles and Camilla will also be seated in the Throne Chairs during some parts of the coronation. Those chairs were made for the coronation in 1937 of King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth, later known as Queen Mother. The Chairs of Estate and Throne Chairs from the Royal Collection "have been conserved, restored and adapted as required," the palace said.
