  • An aerial image of a large protest has been shared on Facebook and Instagram alongside a claim that it shows an anti-lockdown demonstration in the UK capital of London in March 2021. The claim is false; the photo in fact shows an anti-Brexit protest in March 2019. The photo was published on March 21, 2021, on Facebook here, where it has been shared more than 660 times since.
