Police jeered as park vigil in Brighton halted

One man was arrested and eight people were fined at a vigil in Brighton to mourn Sarah Everard, police have said.

About 200 people gathered at Valley Gardens in Brighton on Saturday evening to pay tribute to the 33-year-old.

But as the situation deteriorated on Clapham Common in London, officers in Brighton also struggled to disperse the event, with some sections of the crowd shouting "shame on you".

Sussex Police said it took "necessary and proportionate enforcement action".
