Thousands of anti-vaccine protesters descended on London today calling on the government to scrap its plans to give the Covid jab to children.

Anti-vaxxers were seen marching past Camden Town station and heading through Leicester Square before arriving at Downing Street on Saturday as they protested against mandatory vaccination passports and the vaccination of teenagers. 

Protesters held signs reading 'stay away from our kids', 'I'm not an experiment' and a young boy held a card with the words, 'Leave us alone, I'm a child, I can't consent'.

It comes after the school rollout of jabs for children aged 12 to 15 was given the go ahead last week, with the vaccinations set to start on Wednesday.
