Hundreds of far-right sympathisers gathered in Denmark to protest against what they call the Islamasation of Europe today.The demonstration, which began with a moment of silence for the seven people who were killed by an al-Qaeda-inspired gunman in France, was held in Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city.

It has drawn about 300 participants from several European countries, including Britain, Germany, Poland and Sweden - although there were predictions 4,000 people would be attending.
