THE English Defence League is planning on marching through the streets of Colchester and Clacton on Saturday.

Members have organised "silent tributes" following the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich last week.

Community leaders have slammed the proposed marches.

Tim Young, leader of Colchester Council’s Labour group, said: “It won’t be anything the people of Colchester will support or look forward to.”
