Footage from Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom march shows a huge screen that was snuck in and erected by protestors.

The huge march took place on Saturday (16 May), and saw Robinson, as well as tens of thousands of supporters, take to the streets of London, with Robinson telling crowds gathered in Parliament Square that the march was 'a turning point for Britain'.

The Metropolitan Police have said that between the Unite the Kingdom march and a pro-Palestine demonstration which also took place on Saturday, 4,000 officers as well as armoured vehicles, dogs, drones and helicopters were all deployed throughout.

They also stated that as of 7.30pm on Saturday evening, 43 arrests had been made during the day.

In one clip from the event, police were seen trying to intervene after a group of activists, who go by @ledbydonkeys on Instagram, erected a giant screen in the middle of the march.

As supporters walked by the huge display, the words 'immigration makes Britain brilliant' could be seen in gigantic letters, as protestors became visibly enraged by the messaging.

The screen then played clips of some of the UK's best known celebrities, as well as the England football players and the late Queen Elizabeth II.

"If you go back far enough, we're all immigrants," the message continued.

One man could be seen trying to climb on top of the screen while others chanted 'off, off!' and police appeared to be trying to calm the chaos.

It's reported that this year, the march was subject to live facial recognition for the very first time to catch people involved in past crime cases.

The Met revealed in a statement of the measures it had planned, explaining: "This Saturday is also the first time we will be using live facial recognition as part of a protest policing operation. It will be deployed in the London borough of Camden in an area likely to be used by those attending the Unite the Kingdom event.

"The event is expected to attract significant numbers and we have intelligence which indicates that there is likely to be a threat to public safety from some who might be in attendance. LFR won’t be deployed within the assembly or rally points of either protest or on the route itself.”

The Met later revealed that two men who had been wanted in connection of a hit-and-run incident had been arrested after being spotted.
