Protesters occupy Fortnum & Mason store in Piccadilly

More than 250,000 people have attended a march and rally in central London against public spending cuts.

The main rally passed off peacefully but splinter groups have staged separate demonstrations.

A sit-in organised by the campaign group UK Uncut took place at Fortnum & Mason department store in Piccadilly.

The group has previously mounted protests against tax avoidance measures by big businesses.
