War memorials 
defaced by vandals

Vandals have attacked two war memorials in central London.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “At 5am this morning police discovered graffiti on both the RAF Bomber Command War Memorial in Green Park and the Animals in War Memorial on Park Lane.

“Royal Parks’ officers and Westminster police are investigating. There have been no arrests at present.”

The graffiti was quickly covered up but the word Islam was reported by the BBC to have been daubed on one monument.
