Following on from our weekend report on the anti-George Bush protests in Parliament Square on Sunday a whole crop of photos have been posted in the Londonist Flickr pool capturing the passion behind the protest and the frankly alarming flashpoint as police barricaded Whitehall.

25 arrests were reported as allegations of heavy handed policing were thrown around.

Friction TV were also there, to get the insider's view. Although, the footage stops short of engaging with the police and their batons.

If you were there, please comment and tell us what the demonstration and stand off with the police was like.
