Shortly before the event, organisers posted on X, formerly Twitter that the rally at the end had been cancelled due to a family bereavement.

They added: "Let's make the Edinburgh Rally great on 7 October."

The march however, went ahead as planned with nationalists waving Saltires as they made their way from Glenfuir Road to Seaton Place.

In May, All Under One Banner held a rally in Glasgow on the day of King Charles III's coronation.

Another event is planned for Edinburgh in two weeks' time.
