2.45pm - Further violence between protesters and police as march heads through Preston Park.
One protester, wearing a black mask coverting his face was being restrained by police in Chester Terrace.
A female protestor was being held by police officers.
Confusion seems to be setting in amongst the crowd, with people shouting different directions.
Factions of the group seem to have split off, and shouted and conflicting destinations are being bandied around the group of around 300 people near Preston Park.

I have just had to miss the sussex senior cup final as my road had a mini riot kicking off as i tried to leave. It was bizarre to see Riot Police and Police Horses charging around as I tried to leave.
Well made for strange viewing, I still have three vans of riot police and an overturned carboard car. Also very noisy outside.
