Westminster Hustings Move Sparks Boisterous London Crowd
The hustings were shifted from a narrow space near Covent Garden to Parliament Street in front of the Nelson Monument to avoid missiles from vegetables. The crowd blocked King Charles’s statue area as speeches went on with rowdy interjections from party roughs, yet overall the mood remained lively and good-natured.
