And one group even set fire to an EU flag on the bridge while chanting: "Stick your flag with stars on up your a***.”

A video shows the rowdy crowd gathered around the burning flag while cheering and laughing.

The pro-Brexit protest brought parts of London to a standstill, with chaotic scenes as smoke bombs were strewn across Westminster.

Four people, including a 13-year-old girl, were arrested during the demonstration.
