Thousands of people have turned out in central London in solidarity with Israel on the 100th day since Hamas launched its deadly attack, writes The Guardian.

The president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, thanked King Charles in a video message at the rally in Trafalgar Square on Sunday, mentioning Rishi Sunak and the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, as well.

People attending the rally, who filed into the square past bag searches, barricades and police and security officers, held posters that bore the faces of those who were taken hostage, and others that read “100 days in hell”.

Some brandished versions of the flag used by Iran before the 1979 revolution, with a sun and lion in the centre, which one man said represented opposition to the Iranian government.
