SAS mounts its biggest counter-terror operation in decades to protect Remembrance Day events amid fears of disruption by ‘radical Islamists and the radical Left’

The SAS will mount its biggest security operation in London in more than forty years due to the threat of a terror attack at the National Service of Remembrance.

They will be at the Cenotaph watching over the thousands of veterans, members of the public and dignitaries who will meet at Whitehall at 11am.

It is understood to be the largest deployment in London since the Iranian Embassy Siege in 1980 – though exact numbers have not been disclosed for security reasons.
