A group of protestors have held a free speech demonstration outside St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh amid backlash from police who have become increasingly forceful against anti-royal protestors.
On Tuesday (local time), the group held blank signs and banners outside the Cathedral ahead of a prayer service for the late Queen Elizabeth II.
This comes after several people were arrested throughout the United Kingdom for allegedly disrupting royal proceedings for the Queen.
On Monday (local time), a man was charged with breaching the peace for disgraced Prince Andrew as he walked with his siblings behind his mother's coffin during a procession in Edinburgh.
A video shared on Twitter showed angry mourners shoving the 22-year-old before he was pulled away by police yelling, "I've done nothing wrong".
Another person was arrested in Aberdeen on Sunday (local time) after he was allegedly seen holding eggs as the Queen's coffin passed through Duthie Park in Aberdeen Metro UK reported.
A third person was also arrested on Sunday in Oxford for "disorderly behaviour" after he shouted "Who elected him?" as Charles was proclaimed King.
They were later de-arrested by police, Daily Mail reported.
Free-speech campaigners in the United Kingdom have said how "excessive" police have been with arresting protestors and it is concerning because it shows they don't support people's right to protest.
Metropolitan Police deputy assistant commissioner Stuart Cundy said:
"The public absolutely have a right to protest and we have been making this clear to all officers involved in the extraordinary policing operation currently in place."
The Queen's coffin has been travelling from Balmoral through to Buckingham Palace for people to pay their respects to the late Queen who died at Scotland's Balmoral Castle on Thursday (local time), aged 96.
