Thousands of people are protesting outside the Houses of Parliament against the result in the EU referendum.
Sky's Jason Farrell says the protest appears to be spontaneous and without apparent leadership.
Groups of demonstrators are singing songs and chanting slogans, many of which are aimed at the leaders of the Leave campaign.
Shouts of "no more hate", "down with Boris", "leaders not liars" and "there's no plan", according to several posters on Twitter.
The crowd has also been singing Hey EU, to the tune of The Beatles song Hey Jude.
Farrell says the size of the protest is much bigger than the pro-Corbyn demonstration held in Parliament Square on Monday night

I am glad that it's bigger than the Pro-Corbyn protest. For all the talk of 'a kinder form of politics' there is something very visceral and nasty about some of the Momentum stuff.
It's not exactly spontaneous. There was a planned rally for Trafalgar Square but it was cancelled on safety crowds, however it appears people turned up and heading down to Parliament.

You see these are the losers....look at their ages in the photo they look like students how can you take them seriously they follow FADS they have no control and most of them couldn't even be bothered to turn out for a vote.

Yes they are losers but democracy doesn't stop. So what if they're students? Also I imagine the people minded to go to this protest are the ones who did vote.

This does though apply to all generations. At least the people here are doing something. Personally I have more respect for them than the people who do nothing, don't vote 'because it doesn't make a difference', and think unremitting cynicism about politics is somehow commendable.
