Two men accused of burning poppies during the Armistice Day silence have been charged with a public order offence.
Mohammed Haque, 30, and Amdadur Choudhury, 26, were arrested at a rally by the extremist group Muslims Against Crusades in Kensington, West London, on November 11.
They allegedly burned a model poppy and chanted “British soldiers burn in hell” during the two-minute silence.
The founder of the far-right English Defence League, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 27, was also arrested as his group staged a counter protest.
Haque and Choudhury will appear at City of Westminster magistrates court next Wednesday.
