18 Arrested On Route Of Royal Wedding

Is this what people do when there is a wedding in England?

Police have arrested at least 18 people along the Royal Wedding route, Sky News reports.

The alleged offenses committed by those arrested included breach of the peace, assault, handling stolen goods and possession of an offensive weapon.

The arrests came as police and the military faced the threat of terrorists, anarchists and stalkers. A total of 21 suspected anarchists had been banned from Westminster Abbey for the historic event, Sky News reports.

As precaution, a fence of steel winds around Westminster Abbey, where thousands of well-wishers gathered to catch a glimpse of the happy couple. Armed police and undercover squads of special forces are mingling with the crowds to combat any attempt to disrupt the event.
