Fury as pro-Palestinian supporters deface Rochdale war memorial before Armistice day with police now standing guard at monument<\/h1>\n

Police are standing guard in Rochdale tonight after the town’s war memorial was daubed with ‘Free Palestine’ graffiti – just days before Armistice Day.<\/p>\n

Locals have expressed their outrage, with many blaming pro-Palestine supporters in the area, with the monument repeatedly targeted in recent days.<\/p>\n

Vandals stripped Remembrance Day poppies from the cenotaph at the Esplanade in the town centre yesterday.<\/p>\n

And earlier this week, a man was filmed removing Palestinian flags from the monument and propping up wreaths which had been thrown to the ground.<\/p>\n

Police tape has been pictured around the monument this evening and Community Support Officers are standing guard, adding to already increased patrols following the spate of incidents.<\/p>\n

Police tape has been pictured around the monument this evening and Community Support Officers are standing guard<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Rochdale Borough Council said of the incident tonight: ‘On the afternoon of Tuesday 7 November graffiti was sprayed on the Cenotaph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘This is totally unacceptable and is also being investigated by police. The graffiti will be removed as soon as we are able to.<\/p>\n

‘As we said in our initial response \u2013 we are proud of our strong links with our armed forces community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Our war memorials and monuments are incredibly important and should be respected by everyone at all times.’<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
