LONDON (eTN) – When the taxi driver uttered the words “we have to take a different route” followed by “I have never seen anything quite like it,” the natural thing for a journalist like myself to do is to get off the cab.
“The Palestine flag has apparently been raised at Buckingham Palace,” said the cab driver, who was at a lost for words in trying to explain the hordes of people that were on the street, with some wearing a mask on or over their head.
As it turned out, the night can best be described as something that is of “once in a blue moon” occurrence, and quite literally I might add, as the full moon hovered over London’s famous tourist attractions Big Ben and London Eye being guarded by police in full riot gear.
As seen in the below footage, the “protest” has indeed something to do with Palestine’s flag being displayed in front of the London’s Big Ben. (The below video is a compilation of raw videos and pictures taken at London’s Big Ben and near the London Eye.)
