A walk through Ipswich town centre by members of the English Defence League has finished without incident.

The group of about 50 were joined by members of Islamic charity Jimas, headed by chief executive Manwar Ali.

They walked through the town centre and arrived at Christchurch Park to lay flowers at the war memorial in memory of Drummer Lee Rigby.

A minute’s silence was held before they dispersed.

Mr Ali said: “We have come to express our sentiments and feelings for Drummer Lee Rigby and support for his family.

“We want to show support for our troops.”

Ivan Humble, regional co-ordinator for the East Anglia Branch of the EDL, said: “This is what we need. We need to be seen working together and talking together.

“If we can work together, that has got to be good.”

A spokesman for Suffolk police said there were no reported incidents.
