Sky News has issued a clarification after a news report incorrectly described a protest march as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
The march, which took place in London on Saturday (10 September), was held to protest the death of Chris Kaba, a 24-year-old man shot dead by police in Streatham.
Kaba was unarmed when he was shot by a Met Police officer from the Specialist Firearms Command unit, while driving a vehicle.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (Iopc) has launched a homicide investigation into the incident.
Kaba’s shooting has provoked a public outcry, and was the reason for an organised protest held near Trafalgar Square on Saturday. However, a report on Sky News misidentified the march as being related to the death of the Queen.
The long-reigning monarch died in Balmoral on Thursday (8 September) at the age of 96.
Sky’s mistake was noticed by viewers and condemned on social media,...
