However, a handful of others attended to show their support for the UK military.

Nick Franklin, from Patriots! Stand Up Gloucestershire, said: “Nobody wants war but we also don’t want to be walked all over.”

He said he would tell the other protesters to “grow up”, adding: “Get involved and get behind our military.”

The group believe the US-Israel war with Iran will benefit the Iranian people.

Gloucestershire Constabulary attended the protest to “enable lawful peaceful protest”.
