An anti-monarchy protester detained during the Coronation says he believes the police had "every intention" of arresting him before the event.

Chief executive of the anti-monarchy group Republic, Graham Smith, was one of 64 people arrested by the Metropolitan Police in London on Saturday.

The Met said it had "a duty to intervene when protest becomes criminal and may cause serious disruption".

Justin Webb spoke to Graham Smith of Republic and Ken Marsh, Chairman for the Metropolitan Police Federation, but first Mishal Husain spoke to Caroline Russell, a Green Party member of the London assembly who chairs the Police, Crime Committee.
