Police have made a number of arrests after hundreds of protestors have flocked to Downing Street following Boris Johnson’s historic election victory.

The huge crowd have been spotted in Westminster holding signs which read: “Not to Boris Johnson” and “Defy Tory Rule.”

Footage of the march shows a large police presence as people make their way through the streets to No. 10.

Protestors can be heard chanting "not my Prime Minister" and "NO to Johnson."

One video shows a flare being set off as police separated a group of anti-Tory and pro-Brexit protesters.

While a third showed people shouting at police as they struggled to come to terms with the election result.

Some people looked to be wearing masked while others brandished banners with anti-capitalist and anti-racist messages

The protest follows a landslide conservative victory for the Tories who won an 80 seat majority when Brits went to the polls.

Labour lost a historic 59 MPs in the election - the worst result since 1935.

Hours earlier Boris Johnson addressed the nation and insisted his government would never ignore the feelings of Remainers.

Standing outside Downing Street he said: "Now is the moment, precisely as we leave the EU, to let those natural feelings find renewed expression in building a new partnership.

"I frankly urge everyone on either side of what are, after three and a half years, increasingly arid argument, I urge everyone to find closure and to let the healing begin."

A spokesman for Transport for London said Whitehall has been closed both ways from Trafalgar Square to Parliament Square.

The Met Police have confirmed there have been arrests made during the protest.

A spokesman for the force said one person had been apprehended on suspicion of criminal damage to a police vehicle, one in connection to suspected affray and another after they allegedly assaulted a police officer.

Setting a new date for Brexit the Prime Minister said: "This morning I went to Buckingham Palace and I am forming a new Government and people will arrive at Westminster to form a new Parliament.

“I am proud to say that members of our One Nation Government, a people's Government, will set out plans for constituencies who have never returned a Conservative MP for 100 years.

“We will have an overwhelming mandate because of this election to get Brexit done and we will honour that mandate by January 31."

Protestors have also been pictured gathering against the Prime Minister in Glasgow.
