Several police officers were confronted by a member of the public for leaving their riot gear resting on the Cenotaph, a war memorial located in Whitehall, London.

In the footage from October 14, the filmer is heard asking the officer whether it's "respectful" to leave their helmets and shields on the memorial.

They later add that their grandfather fought in the war.

Another officer then replies: "I don't think it's disrespectful."

Pro-Palestine protesters were criticised after a stage was erected next to the Cenotaph. in an interview with Sky News, Security Minister Tom Tugendhat said "it is disgraceful" and "the Cenotaph is sacred ground".
