Calls for EDL to move march planned on same day as gay pride festival

There are calls for the English Defence League to move a march planned on the same day as a gay pride festival. Both events would happen within a few hundred yards of each other in Bristol city centre.

A large police operation estimated at costing up to one million pounds will seek to control EDL's supporters, and there could also be a counter-demonstration.

The English Defence League say they are intending to hold a peaceful march and there is no evidence to support any calls for the march to be banned.
