Thousands had gathered on Westminster Bridge before heading towards the Palace of Westminster whilst protesting statements made by Home Secretary Suella Braverman in the Commons earlier this month. Ms Braverman has repeatedly singled out Albanian asylum seekers in recent times as she battles to shift blame for the flurry of small boats away from her door.

Suella Braverman was the target of much of the protesters' criticism ( Ian Vogler / Daily Mirror) During Saturday's march more than 1,500 Albanians called on the government to respect them as people and their human rights.
