Hundreds march in Olympics protest in east London

Up to 400 people have marched in Tower Hamlets in east London to protest against what they claim is the "Corporate Olympics".

The march was over issues which included free tickets for sponsors and the sidelining of local businesses.

The Counter Olympics Network said it was demonstrating against "two million free tickets for the rich" and "roads being turned into exclusive highways for VIPs".

The march also raised the issue of missiles being placed on roofs of residential buildings to protect the Games and claimed local businesses and residents would not benefit from the event having been "sidelined".
